Summary

Williamsburg Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Williamsburg, Kansas, with 101 students. The school is part of the West Franklin school district, which is ranked 190 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Williamsburg Elementary School has had a fluctuating performance over the past several years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 152 out of 667 schools in 2018-2019 (4-star rating) to 488 out of 653 schools in 2023-2024 (1-star rating). The school's performance has been particularly weak in recent years, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state and its district average. Notably, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.6% to 22.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of many nearby schools, such as Garnett Elementary and Sunflower Elementary School.

However, Williamsburg Elementary School has shown some strengths in certain student subgroups. In 2018-2019, the school ranked 74th out of 586 Kansas elementary schools for male students, and in 2018-2019 and 2017-2018, the school ranked 7th and 70th, respectively, out of over 500 schools for students of low socioeconomic status. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 41.8% in 2021-2022 to 54.46% in 2023-2024, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students that the school may need to adapt its strategies and resources to better support.
