Summary

Allen Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita, Kansas, serving around 450 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wichita school district, which is ranked 245 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Allen Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Kansas elementary schools over the past decade.

Academically, Allen Elementary significantly underperforms compared to the Wichita district and the state of Kansas in standardized test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.63% of Allen students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.89% for Wichita and 44.47% for Kansas. In math, only 9.38% of Allen students were proficient, compared to 18.62% for Wichita and 38.73% for Kansas. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 33% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Clark Elementary, Linwood Elementary, and Griffith Elementary, also perform poorly compared to the state, with similar low test scores and high chronic absenteeism. However, some nearby magnet schools, like Hyde International Studies/Commun Elementary Magnet and Bostic Traditional Magnet Elementary, significantly outperform Allen Elementary and the other nearby schools, suggesting that a more specialized, targeted approach may be beneficial.
