Summary

Macksville Elementary is a public elementary school in Macksville, Kansas, serving 103 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Macksville School District, which is ranked 227 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Macksville Elementary has consistently underperformed the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics, though its Science performance is slightly better. Compared to nearby schools like Fort Larned Elementary School and St. John Elementary, Macksville Elementary generally lags behind in academic performance. The school also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.5% to 19.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Macksville Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools. Interestingly, the school's low-income students perform relatively well compared to their peers in the state, ranking 33rd out of 546 Kansas elementary schools in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be effectively supporting its low-income population, and there may be opportunities to build on this strength and address the school's overall academic performance through targeted interventions and strategies.
