Summary

Bluemont Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Manhattan, Kansas, serving 215 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Manhattan-Ogden school district, which is ranked 77 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bluemont Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grades. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Bluemont's ELA proficiency for all grades was 53.83%, compared to the state average of 44.47%. The school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency is particularly strong, ranking 180 out of 576 Kansas elementary schools. In Mathematics, Bluemont's 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's low socioeconomic status (SES) students struggle, ranking 360 out of 541 Kansas elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year for ELA proficiency.

Compared to nearby schools, Bluemont's test scores generally outperform Ogden Elementary, but some schools like Frank V. Bergman Elementary and Amanda Arnold Elementary have significantly higher test scores across all subjects and grade levels. The nearby schools with higher test scores also have lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Bluemont's chronic absenteeism rates have been a concern, with the school experiencing rates as high as 22.8% in recent years, an area the school may need to address to improve overall student performance.
