Elementary Schools in Hiawatha

There is only one elementary school located in Hiawatha, Kansas - Hiawatha Elementary. This school serves students from grades K-5 and is part of the Hiawatha school district. Based on the available data, Hiawatha Elementary does not appear to be a standout school in the state, as its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years.

Hiawatha Elementary's test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently below the state average, ranging from 30.72% to 46.99% proficiency, while the state averages range from 31.29% to 43.34%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (58.77%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, Hiawatha Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student ($9,977) compared to the state average, which raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

While Hiawatha Elementary's low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1 may be a positive factor, the overall data suggests a need for improvement in the school's academic programs and teaching methods to better support student learning and achievement. The declining statewide ranking and below-average test scores indicate that Hiawatha Elementary is struggling to keep up with the performance of other elementary schools in Kansas.
