Summary

Tonganoxie Elementary is a public elementary school serving 936 students in grades PK-5 in Tonganoxie, Kansas, which is part of the Tonganoxie School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on state assessments, is generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects.

Compared to nearby schools, Tonganoxie Elementary's performance is mixed. It performs better than some schools, such as Bonner Springs Elementary and Delaware Ridge Elementary, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Basehor Elementary School and Glenwood Ridge Elementary School. The school has shown progress in improving the academic performance of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, moving from the bottom half to the top 20% of Kansas elementary schools in recent years.

One area of concern for Tonganoxie Elementary is the steady increase in chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 15.9% in the 2022-2023 school year to 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year. This rate is higher than the state average and some nearby schools. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be an important focus area for the school and Tonganoxie School District to improve student outcomes.
