Summary

Comanche Elementary is a public elementary school in Overland Park, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District, which is ranked 45 out of 264 districts in the state.

Comanche Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently ranking in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across all grades and subjects, with particularly low performance for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students. Additionally, Comanche Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 81.02% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the district average of 48.64%. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.4% to 20.9% over the past few years, which are higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Comanche Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Nieman Elementary, Tomahawk Elementary, and Santa Fe Trail Elementary, which all have higher rankings and better test scores. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students from low-income families and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the key issues at Comanche Elementary, such as targeted interventions for underperforming subgroups and strategies to improve attendance, could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.
