Summary

College Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 385 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently outperforms the Wichita school district and the state of Kansas in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

College Hill Elementary's academic performance is a standout, with 48.03% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.89% for the Wichita district and 44.47% for the state. The school's performance is especially strong in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts, where it exceeds the district and state averages by a significant margin. In mathematics, College Hill Elementary also outperforms the district, with 26.81% of students proficient or better, compared to 18.62% for Wichita.

When compared to nearby schools in the Wichita district, College Hill Elementary generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. However, the school's performance in mathematics is more mixed, with some nearby magnet schools, such as Hyde International Studies/Commun Elementary Magnet and L'Ouverture Computer Technology Magnet, outperforming College Hill Elementary. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds suggest that addressing attendance and supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds could be key focus areas for the school.
