Summary

Sharon Springs Elementary serves 108 students in pre-K through eighth grade in Sharon Springs, Kansas. Its clearest concern is science: proficiency fell 54 points, from 89% in 2023–24 to 35% in 2025–26, leaving the school 3 points below the state and 13 points below the district; fifth-grade science was also low at 27%, compared with 46% statewide.

The school is stronger than the state in both ELA and math, but trails its one nearby comparison, Weskan Elementary, in each. Sharon Springs’ ELA proficiency was 64%, 18 points above the state and 1 point above Wallace County Schools, while Weskan reached 78%. In math, Sharon Springs scored 49%, 8 points above the state, about even with the district, and 14 points below Weskan’s 63%. Weskan serves pre-K through sixth grade, so the local comparison is limited to one school and a different grade span.

ELA has improved steadily: proficiency rose 25 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, and the school’s lead over the state widened from 6 to 18 points. Math rose only 4 points over that period, and its state advantage narrowed from 14 to 8 points. SchoolDigger ranks Sharon Springs 214th of 657 statewide, at the 67th percentile with 3 stars; the district ranks 68th of 268, at the 75th percentile with 4 stars. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves White students rose sharply from the 41st percentile in 2022–23 to the 91st in 2023–24. In 2024–25, the student–teacher ratio was 10.4 and 40% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, compared with 8.3 and 20% at Weskan. Year-to-year test results describe different school-year groups, not the progress of the same students.
