Gardner Edgerton

Summary:

The Gardner Edgerton school district in Kansas serves 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district's performance varies significantly, with some standout high-performing schools and others struggling to meet state averages.

Among the standout schools, Edgerton Elementary ranks 55th out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. Pioneer Ridge Middle School ranks 84th out of 362 Kansas middle schools and has a 4-star rating, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Nike Elementary ranks 105th out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, with the second-highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the district as a whole performs below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with the high school and some middle schools struggling the most. The schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Moonlight Elementary, Grand Star Elementary, and Wheatridge Middle School, tend to have lower proficiency rates compared to the other schools in the district. This suggests a potential relationship between socioeconomic status and academic achievement that warrants further investigation.
