Summary:
Thayer, Kansas is home to a single elementary school, Thayer Schools, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 119 students. The school is part of the Cherryvale school district, which is ranked 192 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Thayer Schools' performance on standardized tests is generally below the state averages, particularly in the upper grade levels. The school's free/reduced lunch rate of 47.9% suggests a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. While Thayer Schools' spending per student of $13,889 is higher than the state average, it's unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved student outcomes. The school's small size, with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 1, may allow for a more personalized learning environment, but could also limit the availability of resources and specialized programs.
Overall, the data suggests that Thayer Schools faces some performance and demographic challenges, but the school's small size and higher per-student spending may provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support. Further analysis of the school's trends over time and comparisons to similar schools in the state could provide additional insights.
