Summary

Pray-Woodman Elementary serves 507 students in kindergarten through grade 4 in Maize, Kansas. Its 2025–2026 results show 67% proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and 56% in math, both above the rates for the state and the Maize district. The clearest distinction is ELA: Pray-Woodman has the highest all-grades ELA result among the nearby schools listed.

Compared with the four nearby Maize schools serving kindergarten through grade 4, Pray-Woodman’s ELA result is 6 percentage points above their average; its math result is 3 points above their average and ranks second. Grade 4 is a standout: the school leads those peers in both subjects, scoring 70% in ELA and 59% in math. Grade 3 is a weaker spot, particularly in math: its 51% is the lowest among those peers and 7 points below their average. Attendance also merits attention. Chronic absenteeism is 15%, above the district’s 13% and the nearby schools’ average of 10%, though below the state’s 18%.

ELA has risen 18 points since 2022–2023, while math is up 6 points over that span but fell 7 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks Pray-Woodman 116th of 657 statewide, at the 82nd percentile, with 4 stars; its percentile is slightly below last year’s 84th. The student-teacher ratio is 13, and the free/reduced-lunch rate is 33%, near the middle of the nearby-school comparisons. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Special Education Students is at the 58th percentile, 24 points below its overall percentile. Older results for Disabled Students show a notable decline, from the 79th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 30th in 2020–2021.
