Summary:

The 67037 zip code area of Derby, Kansas is home to 6 elementary schools that serve grades PK-5, all part of the Derby school district. These schools range in size from 279 to 596 students and showcase a mix of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Stone Creek Elementary and Park Hill Elementary ranking among the top 140-151 elementary schools in the state.

The top-performing schools, Stone Creek and Park Hill, boast impressive test scores, with over 50% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. These schools also maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, contributing to their academic success. Meanwhile, Swaney Elementary and El Paso Elementary, with higher rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, tend to have lower test scores, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on academic achievement.

Across all 6 schools, the data reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism, with a 19.5% rate in the 2024-2025 school year. This is an area that warrants further investigation and intervention. Additionally, while the top-performing schools excel, there are still significant gaps between their performance and the state/district averages, particularly in Mathematics, suggesting room for improvement even at the highest-ranking institutions.
