Summary

Cloud Elementary is a PK-5 elementary school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 492 students. 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.

Cloud Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Kansas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.29% of Cloud Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.89% in Wichita and 44.47% statewide. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.5% to 33% over the past few years. Additionally, Cloud Elementary spends $11,686 per student, slightly higher than the district average but lower than nearby magnet schools like Horace Mann Dual Language Magnet and Riverside Leadership Magnet Elementary, which generally outperform Cloud Elementary on academic measures.

The data suggests that Cloud Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population, which includes a high percentage of economically disadvantaged and English Language Learner students. Exploring the successful practices and approaches used by the nearby magnet schools, as well as increased collaboration and resource-sharing within the Wichita school district, could provide valuable insights and potential strategies for improving Cloud Elementary's performance.
