Elementary Schools in Rawlins County

There is only one elementary school located in Rawlins County, Kansas - Rawlins County Elementary. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years, its statewide ranking has declined from 220 out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 463 out of 653 in 2023-2024, suggesting its performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state.

Rawlins County Elementary's test scores are generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 31.36% in ELA and 26.91% in Math, compared to state averages of 33.55% and 31.60%, respectively. Additionally, in 2022-2023, 53.37% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The school's relatively low spending per student, at $6,725 in 2018-2019, could be a sign of resource constraints that may impact its ability to provide comprehensive educational programs and support services. Addressing the school's declining performance, underperformance in core subjects, and potential resource challenges through targeted interventions and strategic planning could be crucial for improving outcomes for its students.
