Summary

Washington Accelerated Learning Elementary is a Wichita district school serving 470 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade. In 2025–26, students’ proficiency rates were 34% in English language arts (ELA), 22% in math and 21% in science; all three were below state rates of 46%, 41% and 38%. The key takeaway is that results have improved, but the school still trails the state in every tested subject—most notably in math and science.

Compared with nearby schools serving the same grades, Washington ranked third in ELA and math, and also third in science among the nine peer schools and Washington. Its ELA and math results were above the peer averages of 30% and 20%; science was close to, but just below, the 21% average. Nearby results vary widely: Hyde International Studies/Commun Elementary Magnet and College Hill Elementary scored much higher. Against the Wichita district, Washington was ahead by 4 points in ELA and 1 point in math, but behind by 1 point in science. It remains below state proficiency in all three subjects.

Scores are trending upward: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, proficiency rose 18 points in ELA, 7 in math and 8 in science. Washington’s state gap narrowed in ELA and science but widened in math. SchoolDigger ranks it 577th of 657 Kansas elementary schools, in the 12th percentile, with 1 star; its percentile has stayed between the 5th and 13th over the four years reported. Its student–teacher ratio is 15.1, among the higher ratios nearby, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 96%, the highest among nearby schools with reported figures. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings are notably higher than its overall ranking: African American students ranked in the 61st percentile and English Language Learner students in the 56th, compared with 12th overall; the English Language Learner ranking had risen from the 19th percentile the prior year.
