Summary:

The 67114 zip code area in Newton, Newton, is home to 4 elementary schools: Northridge Elementary, South Breeze Elementary, Slate Creek Elementary, and Sunset Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and reflect the socioeconomic diversity of the local community.

Slate Creek Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking 421 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools in 2024-2025 and boasting the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (43.58%) and Mathematics (35%) across all grades. In contrast, Sunset Elementary consistently underperforms the Newton district and state averages in both subjects. The data also reveals significant differences in student-teacher ratios, with Slate Creek Elementary having the lowest ratio at 11.3 students per teacher, while Northridge Elementary has the highest at 19.2 students per teacher.

Across the 4 schools, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, with all schools reporting around 19.5% in 2024-2025. Additionally, the data suggests a generally low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch recipients ranging from 58.82% at South Breeze Elementary to over 73% at Northridge Elementary and Sunset Elementary. The wide range in spending per student, from $8,870 at South Breeze Elementary to $20,003 at Northridge Elementary, raises questions about the equity and efficiency of resource allocation within the Newton school district.
