The 66517 zip code has only one school, Ogden Elementary, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Manhattan-Ogden school district. While the district is ranked 77 out of 264 in Kansas and has a 4-star rating, Ogden Elementary's performance has fluctuated, ranking as high as 137 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools in 2023-2024 (4-star rating) but as low as 462 out of 660 in 2022-2023 (2-star rating).
Academically, Ogden Elementary faces challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science generally lower than the district and state averages. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (62.31%), indicating significant economic disadvantages among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,845 for the 2018-2019 school year.
Overall, the analysis of Ogden Elementary suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic and socioeconomic factors impacting student success. While the school has access to more resources compared to others, the inconsistent performance and academic challenges indicate that these resources may not be effectively translated into improved student outcomes. Addressing the unique needs of the student population and implementing strategies to improve educational outcomes will be crucial for the school's future success.
