Elementary Schools in Tekoa School District

Summary:

The Tekoa School District has one elementary school, Tekoa Elementary School, serving about 91 students from Pre-K through 5th grade with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1.

Tekoa Elementary shows clear academic strengths, particularly in science where student proficiency consistently outperforms both district and state averages. Math performance is mixed, with 3rd grade scoring notably high but 4th grade pulling the overall average down to just above the district level. The school's most significant challenge is in English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency rates lag behind both the district and state.

While the school invests significantly more per student than the national average, its statewide ranking has been volatile in recent years, indicating inconsistent overall performance. For parents, this means the school offers small class sizes and excels in science education, but faces ongoing challenges in reading and writing that affect its standing. The year-to-year fluctuations also suggest that outcomes can vary considerably for different student cohorts.
