Summary:
Zip code 66517 has one elementary school, Ogden Elementary, serving 155 students in grades K–5 in the Manhattan-Ogden district. Its 2025–26 results present a mixed picture: the school is slightly above Kansas in ELA and notably above it in science, but below the state in math. The clearest takeaway is the contrast between science, 12 points above the state, and math, 9 points below.
There are no school-to-school standouts in this area, so the strongest and weakest results are within Ogden’s subjects and grades. Across all grades, science is highest at 50%, compared with 38% statewide, while math is lowest at 32%, versus 41% statewide; ELA is 47% at Ogden and 46% statewide. Grade 5 is the strongest relative showing: ELA is 60%, 9 points above Kansas, and math is 40%, though still 5 points below. Grade 3 ELA is the sharpest weakness, at 25% versus 52% statewide. Math is below Kansas in all three reported grades, by 18 points in grade 3, 16 in grade 4, and 5 in grade 5. Grade-specific results are available only for grades 3–5.
Ogden’s proficiency rose from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three subjects: ELA by 2 points, math by 2, and science by 11. The science increase stands out, while math remains 9 points below the state after improving by about as much as Kansas did. The school’s equal-weight average gap against the state moved from 4 points below to 1 point above, largely because of science. SchoolDigger rates Ogden 2 stars and ranks it 444th of 657 schools, in the 32nd percentile; its percentile ranking fell from 79th in 2023–24 to 31st in 2024–25 before edging up 1 point. Chronic absenteeism is 21%, compared with 18% statewide and 22% in the district; the free/reduced-lunch rate is 74%, the student-teacher ratio is 10.2, and spending was $19,453 per student in 2023–24. With one school and 155 students, these figures describe Ogden but cannot show school-to-school patterns or explain changes in results.
