Three of the four schools have 2 stars, so the elementary picture looks stronger than the district rating alone suggests.

Lincoln Elementary is the top-ranked school at 647 of 1,039, 38th percentile, 2 stars, with the strongest ELA average at 56.57% across grades 3–6 and standout results in 6th grade ELA (68.57%) and 4th grade Social Studies (73.68%). Mitchell Elementary is tied at 653, 37th percentile, 2 stars, largest school with 403 students; it has the best math average at 47.53% and bright spot in 3rd grade Math at 69.77%. Kosciuszko Elementary is the most stable in rank history and leads in Social Studies (78.26%) and Science (52.17%). Jones Elementary has the most favorable non-test indicators—lowest chronic absenteeism at 14.5%, lowest free/reduced lunch at 50.88%, lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.8, and highest per-student spending at $17,299—but lowest current rank at 830, 20th percentile, 1 star, and the lowest ELA and math averages.

Across the group, math is the clearest shared weakness: all four schools are below the state grade-average reference of about 53.26%, with Jones Elementary lowest at 30.29%. Fifth grade math is low—Mitchell Elementary 30.23%, Lincoln Elementary 28.57%, Kosciuszko Elementary 30.00%, and Jones Elementary 10.53%, compared with the state’s 51.81%. Attendance splits the schools: Jones Elementary is below the state’s 17.3%, Mitchell Elementary is 22.1%, and Lincoln Elementary and Kosciuszko Elementary are much higher at 35.6% and 34.8%. Spending does not track with achievement, as the two highest-spending schools, Jones Elementary and Kosciuszko Elementary, are not the top-ranked schools. Grade-level results can swing widely, especially in smaller schools, so families should look at multi-year trends and single-year scores.
