Math is Gammon’s strongest subject in comparison with the district and nearby schools: its 24% proficiency rate is above the Wichita district’s 21%, though below the nearby-school average of 31% and Kansas’s 41%. In ELA, the school’s 26% is below the district’s 30%, the nearby average of 42%, and the state’s 46%; it is the third-lowest ELA result among the 11 schools compared. Science is also below the district (18% versus 21%), nearby average (29%), and state (38%). Results vary by grade: fourth-grade ELA reached 40%, compared with 16% in third and 17% in fifth, making it a relative bright spot.
Math has improved steadily, rising 12 points over four years to 24%, while ELA rose 11 points to 26%.
