Summary:
The Colby Public Schools district in Kansas has only one elementary school, Colby Elementary, which serves grades PK-4. Based on the available data, Colby Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, ranking 473 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Colby Elementary has 409 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6, slightly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (24.63%) and Mathematics (38.84%), is consistently below the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,237, which may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.
The data suggests that Colby Elementary faces significant challenges, including a declining performance ranking, substantial achievement gaps, and a high percentage of students (44.99%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors indicate that the school serves a high-poverty population and may require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve educational outcomes for its students.
