Summary

Spearville Elementary serves 196 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Spearville, Kansas. Its 2025–26 proficiency results were above Kansas averages in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science. The school also ranks near the top of its local group, but its results have fallen in all three subjects since 2022–23. The most important finding is that mathematics is its clearest strength: proficiency is 57%, 16 points above the state.

Compared with the ten nearby schools, Spearville ranks first in mathematics and second in ELA, but fourth in science. Hodgeman County Elementary leads the group in ELA and science, while Kinsley-Offerle Elementary Pre-K-5 is just behind Spearville in mathematics. Spearville’s results are 54% in ELA, 57% in mathematics, and 50% in science—8, 16, and 12 points above state results, respectively. Compared with the Spearville district, the school is 3 points lower in ELA, 5 points higher in mathematics, and essentially even in science. So, mathematics is its strongest subject across comparisons; ELA is its main relative weakness against the district, while science ranks lower among nearby schools.

Despite its strong current standing, scores have declined from 2022–23: ELA fell 5 points, mathematics 9 points, and science 6 points. The changes were not a steady slide, and all three subjects remain above state results, although the state advantage has narrowed overall. SchoolDigger ranks Spearville at the 69th percentile statewide, 202 of 657 schools, with 3 stars; it was at the 94th percentile with 5 stars in 2021–22. Among the nearby schools, it ranks second by percentile. Context figures include a student-teacher ratio of 12.3, the second-lowest among those schools, and a 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate of 32%, the lowest reported locally; these are observations, not explanations for test results. Chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–26, below the district’s 18% and the state’s 18%.
