Summary

Christa McAuliffe Academy is a PK–8 school serving 829 students in Wichita, Kansas, in the Wichita district. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was higher than the district’s in ELA (41% vs. 30%), math (35% vs. 21%) and science (35% vs. 21%), but lower than the state’s in all three subjects (46%, 41% and 38%, respectively). The most important takeaway is that outperforming the district does not mean the school is keeping pace with the state or most nearby schools on same-grade results.

Locally, grade 4 math is a bright spot: 55% proficiency was 10 points above the state and ranked sixth among 11 nearby schools. Grade 4 ELA was 50%, about level with the state. Results are weaker in other grades: grade 5 science was 31%, 15 points below the state and eighth among nearby schools; the school ranked in the bottom half of the nearby group in most reported grade-level ELA and math comparisons. For example, Bostic Traditional Magnet Elementary had a similar free/reduced-lunch rate—54%, compared with 52% at Christa McAuliffe—but higher grade 3 ELA (78% vs. 45%), grade 3 math (66% vs. 41%) and grade 5 science (67% vs. 31%).

Proficiency has improved since 2022–23: ELA rose from 27% to 41%, math from 23% to 35%, and science from 25% to 35%. Still, SchoolDigger’s overall rating fell from the 45th to the 35th percentile in the latest year; it now ranks 424th of 657 schools and has 2 stars. The school’s student–teacher ratio is relatively low at 13.6, compared with a nearby-school average of 14.5, while its free/reduced-lunch rate is 52%, versus a nearby average of 47%; these are contextual observations, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking is notably high for English Language Learner Students (74th percentile, versus 35th overall) and lower for Low Socio Economic Status Students (17th percentile). Nearby achievement comparisons use same-grade results because most nearby schools serve fewer grades.

What people are saying

Thursday, June 9, 2022

This school allows bullying, sexual assault and harassment by students and bullying by teachers. They give excuses of "we need to investigate" first then proceed with no consequences. If a student reports an issue, they are threatened to be expelled as well as the offender. Principle tells students daily that they don't like kids. Lunch's are expired yet still being served. Parents aren't made aware if a student brings a weapon to school on an incident, second incident we are made aware of it four hours later.
This use to be a great school but facility has gone down hill and not professional. Close Quote
