Summary

Dayton Creek Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Spring Hill, Kansas, serving 291 students in a community with several nearby elementary-school options. Its 2025–2026 results were above both state and district levels in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but its local standing varied by subject. Science is the clearest standout: Dayton Creek was second among nearby schools with results, and its science proficiency was 76%.

Science is where the school most clearly separates itself: 76% of students were proficient, compared with 48% in the Spring Hill district, 38% statewide, and a 56% nearby-school average; only Madison Place Elementary scored higher among nearby schools. ELA and math were also comfortably above district and state results, but closer to the local middle. ELA proficiency was 67%, versus 55% in the district and 46% statewide, and ranked sixth among 11 nearby schools. Math was 63%, versus 50% in the district and 41% statewide, also ranking sixth. Results vary by grade: fourth-grade math was a high point at 73%, while third-grade math was 52% and ranked eighth among nearby schools with results.

Recent results moved in different directions: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 4 percentage points, while math rose 3 points and science rose 6; the science gap over the state widened by 9 points. SchoolDigger placed Dayton Creek at the 89th percentile in both years shown, with a 2025–2026 statewide rank of 73rd out of 657 and a 4-star rating; several nearby schools ranked higher. Its student–teacher ratio was 12.9, below the nearby-school average of 15.6, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 19%, compared with a 21% average among nearby schools reporting a rate. Chronic absenteeism was 7%, below the district’s 9% and Kansas’s 18%, though up from 5% the prior year. These figures provide context, not explanations for test results.
