Summary:
Zip code 66783 has one listed elementary school, Yates Center Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 with 249 students in the Woodson district. With only one school in the list, families can compare its results with state and district figures, but not with nearby schools in this dataset. The most important finding is that the school’s 2025–26 all-grades results were above Kansas averages in English language arts, math, and science.
Yates Center Elementary is the only school listed, so it cannot be identified as a leader or a trailer among local schools. Its strongest all-grades result relative to Kansas was science: 57% proficient versus 38% statewide, an 18-point advantage. Math was 52% versus 41%, an 11-point advantage, while ELA was 51% versus 46%, a 5-point advantage. Grade results show important differences within the school: sixth-grade math was 59%, 18 points above the state, while third-grade math was 41%, 1 point below. Third-grade ELA was also 3 points below Kansas; ELA in grades 4, 5, and 6 was above the state.
Results changed modestly from 2024–25: school ELA fell from 55% to 51%, while math stayed near 52% and science rose from 56% to 57%. The average advantage over the state across the three subjects narrowed from 13 points to 12, although the science gap widened by 4 points as ELA’s narrowed by 5. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and ranks it 235th of 657, in the 64th percentile—down 7 percentile points from the previous year, but up 9 from 2023–24. Chronic absenteeism was 11%, below the district’s 16% and the state’s 18%; the supplied context figures also show a 12.1 student–teacher ratio and a 59% free/reduced-lunch rate. These figures describe one school and do not support local school-to-school comparisons.
