Summary

St John Elementary is a public elementary school in St John, Kansas, serving 220 students in grades PK-6 as part of the St John-Hudson school district. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency, with 62.21% of students proficient in ELA and 39.56% proficient in math in 2024-2025. However, the school's science proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages.

While St John Elementary has relatively strong performance for White students, its performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students is weaker, ranking 316 out of 533 Kansas elementary schools in 2024-2025. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.1% to 22.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite its higher per-student spending and student-teacher ratio compared to nearby Macksville Elementary and Stafford Elementary, the differences in academic performance are not as significant, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's outcomes.

Overall, St John Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the state, with particular strengths in ELA and mathematics proficiency. However, the school also faces challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and disparities in subgroup performance, that will require targeted interventions and support to address.
