Summary

O K Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 276 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. Over the past several years, O K Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, typically in the 400s or 500s out of around 650-670 schools, and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

O K Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.7% to 33.0%, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also generally below the Wichita district and Kansas state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 35.57% of all grades were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.89% for Wichita and 44.47% for Kansas. Additionally, the school's subgroup performance, such as for Hispanic, White, and Special Education students, is lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

When comparing O K Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it performs worse than most of them, including Cloud Elementary, McLean Science/Technical Magnet Elementary, Dodge Literacy Magnet, Riverside Leadership Magnet Elementary, and Woodland Health/Wellness Magnet Elementary. These nearby magnet schools generally have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better subgroup performance, suggesting that the magnet school model may be more effective in improving student outcomes.
