Summary

Tecumseh North Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Tecumseh, Kansas, with an enrollment of 460 students. The school is part of the Shawnee Heights school district, which is ranked 146 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tecumseh North Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently underperforming on state assessments compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 41.96% of Tecumseh North students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44.76% for the district and 44.47% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.2% to 19.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Tecumseh North has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.61% to 53.4% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Tecumseh North Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of its nearby counterparts, Tecumseh South Elementary and Shawnee Heights Elementary, which are also part of the Shawnee Heights district. Tecumseh South Elementary, in particular, has outperformed Tecumseh North in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. Addressing the challenges faced by Tecumseh North Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions for struggling students, efforts to improve attendance, and potentially additional resources and support for the school.
