Summary

Isely Traditional Magnet is a PK–6 school in Bel Aire serving 621 students in the Wichita district, with several Wichita and Circle schools nearby. Its results stand out most against its local and district peers: it placed among the top three nearby schools in all three tested subjects and scored well above the district in each.

Isely’s 2025–26 proficiency rates were 49% in English language arts (ELA), 40% in math and 43% in science. Compared with the state, ELA and science were higher by 3 and 5 percentage points, while math was 1 point lower. Compared with the district, Isely was ahead by 19 points in ELA, 19 in math and 21 in science. Among the 10 nearby schools, it ranked third in ELA, second in math and third in science; its rates exceeded nearby-school averages by 14, 16 and 19 points, respectively. Circle Greenwich led Isely in all three subjects, and Earhart Environ Magnet Elementary also scored higher in ELA and science. Fourth grade is the clearest concern: Isely’s ELA and math rates were 8 and 11 points below the state, while third-grade ELA and fifth-grade math were above it.

Results improved overall from 2022–23 to 2025–26: ELA rose by 14 points, math by 8 and science by 1, though science fluctuated sharply, rebounding after a steep decline in 2024–25. SchoolDigger rated Isely at the 45th percentile with two stars in 2025–26, up from the 27th percentile and one star the year before; only two nearby schools ranked higher. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 13.1, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 55%, lower than those of the nine nearby Wichita schools listed. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings differed from its overall standing: African American students ranked at the 75th percentile, while special education students ranked at the 26th percentile, compared with 45 overall.
