Summary

Minneola Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Minneola, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 172 students. The school is part of the Minneola School District, which is ranked 87 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Minneola Elementary has consistently performed above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd, 7th, and 8th grades, where proficiency rates in these subjects are significantly higher than the state averages. Additionally, the school has shown strong performance among its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 20% of Kansas elementary schools for this subgroup in the last three school years.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 3.0% in 2022-2023 to 19.5% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average. In comparison, the closest neighboring school, Fowler Elementary, has lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that Minneola Elementary may be providing a relatively stronger educational experience for its students.
