Summary
Udall Elementary in Udall, Kansas, serves prekindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls 123 students. Its clearest concern is mathematics: 20% of students were proficient overall in 2025–26, and just 5% of fourth graders were proficient, compared with 44% of fourth graders statewide. Udall had the lowest fourth-grade math result among nearby schools reporting that grade.
Science is the school’s strongest subject: 55% were proficient, 16 percentage points above Kansas and 14 points above the Udall district; Udall was also 8 points above the nearby-school average. Math and English language arts (ELA) were weaker: Udall’s math result was 20%, versus 41% statewide and 44% in the district, and it was 20 points below the nearby-school average. Udall was second-lowest among nearby schools with reported all-grades results in both math and ELA. Fourth-grade ELA was also low at 11%, compared with 50% statewide, while fifth grade was a bright spot: ELA proficiency was 64%, 13 points above the state, and math was 45%, about even with the state.
Across 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 3 percentage points, from 40% to 36%, and math fell 29 points, from 49% to 20%; science rose 19 points, from 35% to 55%. Results fluctuated along the way, so these are overall changes, not steady year-by-year trends. SchoolDigger placed Udall in the 32nd statewide percentile and gave it 2 stars in 2025–26; among nearby ranked schools, only one ranked lower. The school had a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, compared with a nearby average of 12.5, and a free/reduced-price lunch rate of 51%, about 5 points above the nearby average. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White students was in the 5th percentile, well below the school’s overall 32nd percentile. With 123 students and nearby schools serving different grade spans, year-to-year results and all-grades comparisons warrant context.
