Summary:
The 67216 zip code area in Kansas is home to 4 elementary schools: Anderson Elementary, White Elementary, Paul B Cooper Elementary, and Oaklawn Elementary. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and are located within the Wichita and Derby school districts.
Among the schools in this area, Oaklawn Elementary stands out as the top performer, with the highest overall test scores in English Language Arts and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, Oaklawn had the greatest percentage of students proficient or better in these subjects compared to the other schools. Paul B Cooper Elementary also performed relatively well, particularly in Mathematics, where it exceeded the district and state averages.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps across all schools in this area, with students consistently scoring well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the schools face challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These factors may contribute to the persistent low performance of these elementary schools, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the communities they serve.
