Summary

Circle Oil Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in El Dorado, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 273 students. The school is part of the Circle school district, which is ranked 82 out of 264 districts in Kansas and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Circle Oil Hill Elementary has faced some challenges in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has declined, dropping from 179th out of 670 Kansas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 414th out of 656 in 2024-2025. Its performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics has been mixed compared to the Circle district and the state of Kansas, with the school underperforming in some grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.2% in 2022-2023 to 19.5% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Circle Oil Hill Elementary's performance is also mixed. While it has outperformed some schools in the Augusta and El Dorado districts, it has consistently underperformed Circle Benton Elementary, another school in the Circle district. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall outcomes.
