Summary
Skyline Elementary serves 218 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in Pratt, Kansas. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency rates topped the state’s in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science, but results varied considerably by grade. The clearest concern is fourth grade: ELA proficiency was 42% and math was 38%, both below state rates.
Science is Skyline’s strongest subject against the state, while ELA is its weakest: the school scored 49% in science versus 38% statewide, and 52% in ELA versus 46%. Math was 49% at the school and 41% statewide. Compared with its district, Skyline was below in ELA (52% versus 54%) and math (49% versus 53%), and narrowly above in science (49% versus 48%). Its ELA results trailed all nearby schools with reported results, including Cunningham Elementary and Haviland Elementary. Math was mixed: Skyline was ahead of Southwest Elementary, but behind Cunningham Elementary, Haviland Elementary, and Pratt Academic Center. Third- and fifth-grade math stand out as strengths, each at 61%, while seventh-grade math was 29%. Because nearby schools serve different grade spans, all-grades comparisons are not fully like-for-like.
ELA and math have improved over four years: ELA rose 16 percentage points and math 16 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while science gained 6 points over that period but fell 13 points in the most recent year. SchoolDigger ranks Skyline at the 62nd statewide percentile with 3 stars, up 23 percentile points from its 2021–22 low but down 9 points from 2024–25; nearby schools with current rankings are at the 68th to 77th percentiles. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves students identified as low socioeconomic status dropped from the 97th percentile in 2023–24 to the 66th in 2025–26, close to the school’s overall 62nd-percentile ranking. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 10.8, below the nearby-school average of 12.4; the free/reduced-lunch rate was 59%, the highest among nearby schools with data. These figures describe school context, not the cause of its test results.
