Summary:
The city of Ellis, Kansas is home to two schools - Washington Elementary and Ellis Junior/Senior High. These schools serve students from elementary through high school and are part of the Ellis school district.
Washington Elementary consistently performs well in English Language Arts and Science, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average. However, the school's Math proficiency, particularly in 4th and 5th grades, is significantly lower than the state average, suggesting an area for improvement. In contrast, Ellis Junior/Senior High has an impressive statewide ranking, placing 35th out of 327 Kansas high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The high school outperforms the state average in 10th grade English Language Arts and Math, but its 7th and 8th grade Math proficiency rates are relatively low.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of minority students. The district's investment in education is evident, with higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios. This well-funded school system may contribute to the schools' strong academic performance, but the district should also consider ways to foster greater diversity within the student populations and address any areas of weakness, such as Math proficiency, to ensure continued success for all students.
