Lowell Elementary is a public elementary school in Winfield, Kansas, serving 210 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Winfield school district and the state of Kansas in academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Lowell Elementary stands out for its strong performance among special education and low-income students, ranking 148th and 280th, respectively, out of all Kansas elementary schools.
