SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 657 Kansas Elementary Schools

Better than 23% of Kansas elementary schools

Summary

State Street Elementary serves 411 students in PK–5 in Topeka, within Topeka Public Schools, a district ranked in the 5th statewide percentile by SchoolDigger. The school’s own SchoolDigger rating is in the 23rd percentile, with 1 star. Its results show a clear subject-by-subject contrast: it performs better than its district but remains below the state in every tested subject. The most important finding is that ELA is its strongest relative subject, while its math and science results are close to nearby-school averages.

In 2025–26, State Street’s ELA proficiency was 43%—12 percentage points above the district, 3 below the state and 3 above the nearby-school average. It ranked fifth among the 10 schools on all-grades ELA. Math was 31%: 6 points above the district, 10 below the state and 1 below nearby schools’ average; it ranked seventh. Science was 32%, 8 points above the district, 7 below the state and 1 below the nearby average, ranking sixth. The grade-level picture highlights fifth-grade ELA, which ranked third among the 10 schools, and fourth-grade math, which ranked ninth. These comparisons suggest stronger relative performance in ELA, but no subject has yet reached the state level.

ELA has improved steadily, rising from 20% in 2022–23 to 43% in 2025–26, and its gap with the state narrowed from 13 points to 3. Math was nearly unchanged over that period, at 31% in both years, despite a recent recovery; science rose from 24% to 32%. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile improved from 13 to 23, but the school remains in the lower part of the statewide distribution. Its student-teacher ratio of 11.9 is below the nearby average of about 12.7, though that has not coincided with state-level proficiency. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a notable bright spot in how the school serves students receiving special education: its 2025–26 percentile was 61, compared with 23 overall. Its English learner ranking was a concern: it fell to the 1st percentile in 2024–25, versus the school’s 19th-percentile overall ranking that year; no 2025–26 figure was supplied.
