Summary

Bluemont Elementary School is a 207-student K–5 school in Manhattan, Kansas, in the Manhattan-Ogden district. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 58% in English language arts (ELA), 45% in math and 52% in science, all above state rates. The most important concern for families is third-grade math: 39% of students were proficient, below the district’s 48% and the state’s 43%, and eighth among ten local schools.

ELA is Bluemont’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: its 58% proficiency was about 2 points above the nine-school local average, and it ranked fifth among ten schools including Bluemont. Math was about 2 points below the local average, while science was about 3 points below; Bluemont ranked sixth in math and seventh in science. Compared with the district, Bluemont was 5 points higher in ELA and 4 points higher in science, but 3 points lower in math. Its fifth-grade math result was stronger than third grade at 55%, above the state’s 45% but just below the district’s 56%.

Results have shifted over time: ELA rose 13 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while math declined 2 points and science gained 3 points. Bluemont’s math advantage over the state narrowed by 12 points over that period, even as the latest result remained above the state. SchoolDigger places the school in the 63rd percentile overall, with 3 stars and a rank of 243 out of 657. Its student-teacher ratio is 10.8, and 49% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch—context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings differ sharply: the school ranks in the 84th percentile for White students but the 24th percentile for students with low socioeconomic status, compared with its 63rd-percentile overall ranking; the latter fell from the 61st percentile the prior year. These are rankings, not subgroup proficiency percentages.
