Summary

Coronado Elementary is a public elementary school in Salina, Kansas, serving around 400 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Salina school district, which is ranked 195 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coronado Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the Salina district and Kansas state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 39.12% at Coronado, compared to 40.15% for Salina and 44.47% for Kansas. However, the school's 5th-grade ELA and Math scores are relatively stronger, suggesting potential room for improvement in the earlier grades. Additionally, Coronado has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 19.5% to 22.1% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Coronado Elementary's performance is lower than Meadowlark Ridge Elementary and Stewart Elementary, which have significantly higher test scores and rankings. However, Coronado outperforms some other nearby schools like Oakdale Elementary, Cottonwood Elementary, and Schilling Elementary, which have even lower test scores and rankings. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and the stronger performance of certain student subgroups suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and strategies.
