Summary:

There is only one elementary school located in the 66616 zip code - State Street Elementary, which serves grades PK-5. The school is part of the Topeka Public Schools district, which is ranked 247 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

State Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subjects tested, with only 37.29% proficiency in ELA, 26.47% in Math, and 25.33% in Science in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and a high percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch at 89.98%.

Overall, State Street Elementary appears to be a struggling school, facing significant challenges in meeting the academic needs of its students. The school's low ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggest it may be serving a high-need population that requires additional resources and support. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach at both the school and district levels.
