Summary:
Zip code 67050 has one listed elementary school, Garden Plain Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 and enrolling 445 students.

The school’s 2025–26 all-grades proficiency was above the state in English language arts (61% versus 46%), math (63% versus 41%), and science (49% versus 38%), with math showing the largest lead at 22 percentage points.
Garden Plain Elementary is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this one-school list, so those labels do not represent a meaningful peer ranking. Its results were above Kansas in every reported grade for ELA and math: grade-level leads ranged from 9 to 23 points in ELA and from 13 to 25 points in math. Science is the main exception to that consistently favorable picture: grade 5 was 1 point below Kansas (45% versus 46%), while grade 8 was 14 points above (53% versus 39%). SchoolDigger gives the school 4 stars and ranks it 114th of 657 Kansas schools, in the 83rd percentile; it ranks the Renwick district 17th of 268.
The school remains ahead of Kansas in all three subjects, but its advantage narrowed from 2024–25 to 2025–26. Its ELA lead declined from 18 to 15 points, its math lead from 27 to 22 points, and its science lead from 22 to 11 points; science proficiency fell 15 points at the school, making it the clearest area to watch. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking also fell from 92nd in 2024–25 to 83rd in 2025–26, after being 85th in 2023–24. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 18.1 and a 15% free/reduced-lunch rate. Chronic absenteeism was 4%, compared with 5% in the district and 18% statewide. These figures describe the school but do not explain its results.
