Elementary Schools in Perry Public Schools

The Perry Public Schools district in Kansas has only one elementary school, Lecompton Elementary. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has shown mixed results compared to state averages, with some areas of strength and others needing improvement.

Lecompton Elementary's statewide ranking has ranged from 324 out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 378 out of 660 in 2022-2023. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.93%) and Mathematics (44.24%) were higher than the district (31.35% and 27.15%) and state (33.55% and 31.6%) averages. However, in the previous year, the school's ELA proficiency rate (36.53%) was slightly higher than the district (32.89%) but lower than the state (33.17%), while its Math proficiency rate (41.34%) was higher than the district (24.73%) but lower than the state (31.29%).

Lecompton Elementary faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 40.48% for the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,118, which is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.4 for the 2022-2023 school year is slightly lower than the state average. These factors may play a role in the school's performance and the opportunities available for improvement.
