Summary

Oskaloosa Elementary serves 255 students in PK–6 in Oskaloosa, Kansas. Its 2025–26 results show a sharp difference by subject and grade: science is a relative strength, while English language arts (ELA) and math trail Kansas overall. The clearest concern is math: 33% of students were proficient, 8 percentage points below the state and 2 below Oskaloosa Public Schools; the school ranked second-lowest among 11 nearby schools.

Science is the strongest subject compared with the state and district: 50% were proficient, 12 points above Kansas and 13 above the district. That result is around the middle among nearby schools with science data and tied with Tonganoxie Elementary. ELA was 40%, 6 points below the state and 4 above the district, but also second-lowest among nearby schools. Grade results vary considerably: grades 3 and 4 were particularly weak in ELA and math, while grade 5 ELA reached 70%, the highest among nearby schools reporting that grade. Grade 6 math was 58%, 17 points above the state; only North Fairview scored higher among the three nearby schools reporting that grade.

Over four years, ELA changed little overall, from 40% to 40%, but dropped 7 points in the latest year; math fell 2 points and shifted from 4 points above the state to 8 below. Science declined 5 points but remains above Kansas, though its advantage narrowed from 24 points to 12. SchoolDigger places the school in the 34th percentile with 2 stars, down 10 percentile points from the prior year and the third-lowest standing among the 11 schools. Its 9.3 student-teacher ratio is the lowest in the group, while its 55% free/reduced-lunch rate is second-highest; these are context, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking fell 20 points, from the 67th percentile to the 47th, though it remains 13 points above the school’s overall percentile.
