Summary

Royal Valley Elementary serves 369 students in prekindergarten through grade 4 in Hoyt, Kansas, as part of the Royal Valley district. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 40th percentile statewide and awarded it 2 stars. The most important takeaway is that results differ by subject: English language arts (ELA) is above state and district levels, while math is below both.

ELA is the school’s strongest area compared with its benchmarks. In 2025–26, 52% of students were proficient, compared with 46% statewide and 42% in the district. Among nine nearby schools, four had lower ELA results and five had higher results; Royal Valley was also close to their 52% average. Math is the clearer concern: 36% were proficient, versus 41% statewide and 38% in the district. Four nearby schools scored lower and five higher, but the nearby average was 47% and the median was 50%. Results also vary by grade: grade 4 ELA was 55%, above the state’s 50%, while grade 3 ELA was 48%, below the state’s 52%. Math was below the state in both grades.

Recent results show improvement, though the longer-term picture is mixed. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA rose 9 percentage points and math rose 1 point; SchoolDigger’s overall percentile ranking increased from 31 to 40, but remains below its 47th-percentile ranking in 2022–23. Chronic absenteeism fell from 27% in 2022–23 to 11% in 2025–26, slightly above the district’s 11% and below the state’s 18%. The student–teacher ratio was 12.6, below the nearby-school average of 13.6; the school’s free/reduced-lunch rate was 54%, compared with a nearby average of 49%. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings also differ: the Female Students ranking was at the 61st percentile, above the school’s overall 40th, while the Male Students ranking was at the 27th percentile, down from the 59th in 2018–19. These rankings describe relative school performance, not the students themselves.
