Summary:

The 66801 zip code area of Emporia, Kansas is home to 6 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools are part of the Emporia school district, which is ranked 215 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the schools, Timmerman Elementary stands out with the highest statewide ranking, placing 278th out of 656 Kansas elementary schools in 2024-2025 and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Timmerman has strong test scores, with 49.21% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 49.74% proficient or better in Mathematics. Walnut Elementary also performs well, ranking 376th statewide and earning a 2-star rating, with 51.53% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts.

However, not all schools in the area are performing at the same level. Schools like W.A. White Elementary and Logan Ave Elementary struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, which may be correlated with their higher rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% across all schools in the area is also a concern that may be contributing to the academic performance disparities.
