Derby

Summary:

The Derby, Kansas school district consists of 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district's performance is generally around the state average, with some standout schools like Stone Creek Elementary and Tanglewood Elementary exceeding state averages in core subjects.

Stone Creek Elementary and Tanglewood Elementary are the top-performing elementary schools in the Derby district, with strong proficiency rates across all grades. In contrast, schools like Paul B Cooper Elementary and Oaklawn Elementary struggle, with very low proficiency rates compared to state averages, suggesting potential equity issues within the district.

The data also reveals that per-student spending does not directly correlate with academic performance, as the high-spending Oaklawn Elementary has the lowest test scores, while the more moderately-funded Tanglewood Elementary is a top performer. Additionally, the two Derby middle schools show room for improvement, with both ranking in the bottom half of Kansas middle schools, indicating an area of focus for the district.
