Summary:
Zip code 66607 has one listed elementary school, Scott Dual Language Magnet, which serves prekindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls 402 students in Topeka Public Schools. Its 2025–26 chronic-absenteeism rate was 11%, below the district’s 24% and the state’s 18%. The main academic concern is math: Scott’s 27% proficiency rate was 14 percentage points below the state’s 41%.
There are no local peers to identify as top or bottom performers, so Scott’s results are best understood against state figures. Its strongest all-grades result relative to the state was science, at 40% proficient compared with 38% statewide; in ELA, it had 38% compared with 46% statewide. Grade-level results add important detail: grade 3 had the widest reported gaps in both ELA (34% versus 52% statewide) and math (23% versus 43%). Although Scott’s all-grades science result was above the state rate, its grade 5 science result was 40%, about 6 points below the state’s 46%.
Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three subjects: Scott gained 5 percentage points in ELA, 6 in math, and 4 in science. Its gap with the state narrowed by 3 points in ELA and 4 in math, while science shifted from 6 points below the state to 2 points above it. SchoolDigger rates Scott one star and ranks it 526th of 657 Kansas elementary schools, at the 20th percentile. That rank is 17 places better than in 2024–25, though it follows a decline the year before. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 13.2 and a 92% free/reduced-lunch rate; these figures describe the school but do not establish what accounts for its results.
