Summary:

The 67487 zip code area has only one elementary school, Wakefield Elementary, which serves students in the Clay County district. Wakefield Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Math, and Science compared to district and state averages. The school faces challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate than the state average.

Wakefield Elementary's academic performance is a concern, with only 29.46% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 46.96% and 45.04% in the Clay County district, respectively. The school's Science proficiency rate is slightly better at 46.15%, but still below the district and state averages. These low proficiency rates suggest that Wakefield Elementary may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

The data also reveals that Wakefield Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.69% in 2023-2024. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can have a significant impact on student achievement. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% for the 2024-2025 school year is significantly higher than the state average, which could also be a factor in the school's low performance.
