Summary:
ZIP code 66951 has one listed elementary school, Thunder Ridge Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 3. It enrolls 38 students and has a 6.6:1 student-teacher ratio. The clearest favorable finding is attendance: in 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was lower at the school than in the district or Kansas overall.
Thunder Ridge Elementary is the only school in the area’s list, so there are no local schools to identify as higher- or lower-performing than it. Its absenteeism rate was 13%, compared with 20% for Thunder Ridge Schools and 18% statewide—6 percentage points below the district and 5 points below the state. This is a favorable attendance comparison, not an achievement result. Separately, SchoolDigger ranks the district 188th of 268, at the 30th percentile, and gives it 2 stars; those ratings apply to the district, not specifically to the elementary school.
The available figures offer some context for families but do not show whether the school’s results are changing: its student-teacher ratio is 6.6:1, its free/reduced-lunch rate was 61% in 2024–25, and spending was $19,514 per student in 2023–24. The lunch rate is a reported characteristic, not an explanation for school results. No test scores or multi-year school measures were provided, so achievement, trends over time, and differences from comparable schools cannot be assessed.
