Best Public Schools in Gridley, KS


Summary:

The city of Gridley, Kansas has only one school, Southern Coffey County Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 83 students. The school's district, LeRoy-Gridley, is ranked 195 out of 269 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southern Coffey County Elementary has consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2022-2023, only 22.21% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 38.08%. Additionally, a high percentage (73.49%) of students at the school qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.8, this may suggest that resources are being allocated more towards smaller class sizes rather than other areas that could potentially improve academic outcomes, such as teacher quality, curriculum, or student support programs. Without additional data on other schools in the Gridley area or the state, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons and identify any standout schools. However, the available data suggests that Southern Coffey County Elementary is a struggling school that is performing well below state averages in academic achievement, and further investigation would be necessary to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the school's challenges and potential areas for improvement.
