Summary

Spaght Multimedia Magnet is an elementary school in Wichita, Kansas that serves grades PK-5 and has 436 students enrolled. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Kansas elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. Spaght has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.93% to 97.71% over the past 3 years, which is notably higher than nearby schools.

Spaght Multimedia Magnet also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.5% to 33% over the past 2 years, which is higher than the state average. Despite spending $12,464 per student, which is higher than some nearby schools, Spaght has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 11.1-12.8, compared to 13-15.2 at the surrounding schools. This suggests the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to support student learning.

While the socioeconomic challenges at Spaght Multimedia Magnet are likely a major contributor to the school's academic struggles, some nearby schools with similarly high poverty rates, such as Washington Accelerated Learning Elementary and L'Ouverture Computer Technology Magnet, are performing better academically. Addressing the root causes of high absenteeism and improving resource allocation could be important levers for improvement at Spaght Multimedia Magnet.
