Summary

Broken Arrow Elementary is a public elementary school in Shawnee, Kansas, serving 364 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District, which is ranked 45 out of 264 districts in the state.

Broken Arrow Elementary has consistently performed below the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. However, the school has shown strong performance in certain student subgroups, ranking 14th out of 70 Kansas elementary schools for African American students and 39th out of 262 for Hispanic students in ELA proficiency. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.21% to 53.85% in recent years. Additionally, Broken Arrow Elementary has experienced a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.4% to 19.5% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools, Broken Arrow Elementary's performance is generally lower than the higher-performing schools in the district, such as Rhein Benninghoven Elementary, Ray Marsh Elementary, and Christa McAuliffe Elementary. However, the school outperforms some of the lower-performing schools in the district, such as Shawanoe Elementary. By addressing areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and the performance of students with special needs and from low socioeconomic backgrounds, Broken Arrow Elementary may be able to improve its overall standing and better serve its diverse student population.
