Logan Elementary

Logan Elementary is a small school in Logan, Kansas, serving 76 students in prekindergarten through grade 6. In 2025–26, its all-grades results were slightly above the state in English Language Arts (ELA) and science, but below it in math. The clearest concern is the sharp split between fifth- and sixth-grade math: 15% of fifth graders were proficient, compared with 45% statewide, while sixth-grade proficiency was 60%, versus 41% statewide. That is a 30-point fifth-grade deficit and a 19-point sixth-grade advantage, a 45-point difference between Logan’s own grades.

ELA is Logan’s strongest subject against the state and district: its 47% proficiency was 1 point above the state’s 46% and just under the district’s result. However, nearby Almena Elementary and Phillipsburg Elementary both scored higher in ELA; their average was 57%, 10 points above Logan. In math, Logan’s 39% was 2 points below both the state and the Logan district, and 7 points below the nearby-schools average of 46%. Logan’s 38% in science was just above the state but 4 points below its district. These nearby comparisons are not fully like-for-like because those schools serve through grade 4, and Logan’s 76 students mean individual grade results can reflect small numbers of students.

ELA and math have improved over the four reported years, rising 12 and 6 points, respectively, but science has dropped 16 points since 2024–25 and is down 2 points overall since 2022–23. SchoolDigger ranks Logan at the 44th percentile with 2 stars, up 4 percentile points from the prior year; Phillipsburg Elementary is at the 74th percentile with 4 stars. A notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is that its “White Students” ranking is at the 20th percentile, a measure of how well the school serves that group relative to the same group statewide; it was at the 63rd percentile two years earlier, while Logan’s overall standing rose from the 37th to the 44th percentile. Logan’s 10.8 student–teacher ratio is between nearby schools’ ratios.
