Summary:
The 66017 zip code has only one school, Doniphan West Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 217 students. The school is part of the Doniphan West Schools district, which is ranked 209 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Doniphan West Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Science are significantly higher than the district and state, its performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is more varied, with some grades performing better than others. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% is a concerning metric, and 43.78% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite these challenges, the school has access to adequate resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $10,723 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 in 2023-2024. These resources could be leveraged to address the academic performance and chronic absenteeism issues, and the school's strong performance in Science suggests potential areas for improvement in other core subjects.
