Summary

Apache Elementary is a public elementary school located in Overland Park, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 493 students. It is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District, which is ranked 45 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a generally high-performing district, Apache Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with concerning results for Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Apache Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.4% to 20.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) are significantly lower than the Shawnee Mission Public School District and the state of Kansas across all grade levels and subject areas.

Interestingly, Apache Elementary is surrounded by several other elementary schools, such as Brookridge Elementary, Mill Creek Elementary, and Oak Park-Carpenter Elementary, that significantly outperform it in terms of proficiency rates, chronic absenteeism, and overall rankings. This suggests that Apache Elementary may face unique challenges compared to its peers in the district, potentially related to its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and its relatively high student-teacher ratio.
