Kansas Elementary School

Summary:

Kansas Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Kansas, Illinois, with a total enrollment of 96 students. The school is part of the Kansas CUSD 3 district, which is ranked 492 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kansas Elementary School consistently ranks in the top half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking of 775 out of 2,067 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school excels in English Language Arts (ELA), with 58.5% of students proficient or better, outperforming the state average of 41.2% and the district average of 57.9%. However, in Mathematics, the school's performance is below the state average, with only 18.9% of students proficient or better compared to 28.4% statewide. Notably, 6th-grade students at Kansas Elementary School stand out, with 90% proficient or better in ELA, significantly higher than the state average of 46.7%.

While Kansas Elementary School's ELA performance is commendable, nearby schools like North Elementary School and Crestwood Elementary School also demonstrate strong ELA performance. In Mathematics, Kansas Elementary School lags behind these nearby schools, indicating an area for potential collaboration and sharing of best practices. Additionally, the school has seen a rise in chronic absenteeism, from 6.3% in 2019-2020 to 14.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. The significant increase in per-student spending, from $10,191 in 2019-2020 to $19,845 in 2022-2023, may indicate a focus on improving educational resources and support, but the rising chronic absenteeism rates suggest that factors beyond just resources may be impacting student engagement and attendance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
