Summary
Elmont Elementary is a K–6 school with 303 students in Topeka’s Seaman district. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were above the state and district in all three reported subjects. The clearest advantage is mathematics: 62% of students were proficient, compared with 41% statewide and 42% districtwide.
Math is also a standout against nearby K–6 schools: Elmont’s 62% proficiency rate was higher than the other three schools’ average of 46%. Overall ELA proficiency was 57%, above the state and district rates of 46% and the nearby-school average of 52%. However, the grade-level picture is uneven: ELA proficiency was 47% in grade 3 and 49% in grade 4, below both state and district results in each grade. In contrast, Elmont had the highest grade 5 ELA result among the same-span schools, at 65%, and ranked second in grade 6, at 64%. Attendance is another strength: chronic absenteeism was 3%, compared with 18% statewide and districtwide, and 9% to 15% at North Fairview, West Indianola Elementary, and Northern Hills Elementary.
Over time, results have been mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose by 1 percentage point overall, math rose by 6 points, and science fell by 11 points, despite a rebound in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks Elmont at the 75th statewide percentile with 4 stars, or 166th of 657 schools; its percentile is down 17 points from its 2023–24 peak. SchoolDigger’s rankings for two student groups also declined: the Low Socio Economic Status Students group is at the 71st percentile, down 22 points since 2023–24, and the Male Students group is at the 72nd percentile, down 22 points since 2020–21. Elmont’s student-teacher ratio of 15.8 is higher than those of the three same-span nearby schools, while its free/reduced-lunch rate of 28% is the lowest among nearby schools; these are contextual measures, not explanations for its results.
