Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66050

Summary:

The 66050 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Lecompton Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with 289 students. The school is part of the Perry Public Schools district, which is ranked 152 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lecompton Elementary has shown consistent improvement in its academic performance, with the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics increasing from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025. In 2024-2025, the school outperformed the district and state averages in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency for all grades, as well as for 3rd and 4th grade specifically. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in 2024-2025 is relatively high, which could be an area of concern.

Lecompton Elementary serves a population with a relatively high level of economic need, with over 40% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,118, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 14.4. While the school's academic performance has been improving, the high chronic absenteeism rate and the socioeconomic factors of the student population may present challenges that the school and district need to address.
