Summary

Gammon Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 419 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. Gammon Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Gammon Elementary Kansas elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 500-650 out of around 650-670 schools.

Gammon Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with only 16.57% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 18.62% for Wichita and 38.73% for Kansas. Interestingly, the nearby Hyde International Studies/Commun Elementary Magnet, Isely Traditional Magnet Elementary, and Minneha Core Knowledge Elementary schools significantly outperform Gammon Elementary on these key metrics.

Despite spending $13,093 per student, which is higher than some nearby magnet schools, Gammon Elementary continues to struggle. The school's challenges do not appear to be solely due to a lack of funding, but rather issues with how resources are being utilized and allocated. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 13.1 in recent years, suggests that class size may not be a significant factor in the school's underperformance.
