Summary

West Bourbon Elementary is a public elementary school in Uniontown, Kansas, serving 273 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Uniontown school district, which is ranked 104 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

West Bourbon Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 20% of Kansas elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly strong performance in 5th grade, where 70% of students were proficient or better in both subjects. The school also ranks in the top 5% of Kansas elementary schools for its performance with special education students and in the top 12% for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating strong support and resources for these populations.

While Eugene Ware Elementary and Marmaton Valley Elementary also show some strengths, especially in specific grade levels or subject areas, West Bourbon Elementary's commitment to supporting all students and its relatively low student-teacher ratio are key factors contributing to its success. However, the school should continue to monitor and address the rising chronic absenteeism rates to ensure that all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
