Summary

Mueller Aerospace/Engineering Discovery Magne is a public magnet elementary school in Wichita, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 310 students. Despite its focus on aerospace and engineering, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.17% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.47% statewide and 28.89% in the Wichita district. In mathematics, only 8.26% of students were proficient or better, compared to 38.73% statewide and 18.62% in the district. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 33.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Mueller Aerospace/Engineering Discovery Magne to other nearby schools in the Wichita district, such as Irving Elementary, Adams Elementary, and Washington Accelerated Learning Elementary, it consistently underperforms in academic achievement and other key metrics. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's magnet program and the factors contributing to its poor performance, which may include socioeconomic challenges and the need to examine instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership.
