Cedar Vale Elementary

Summary:

Cedar Vale Elementary is a public elementary school in Cedar Vale, Kansas, serving 81 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Chautauqua County Community district, which is ranked 221 out of 269 districts in the state.

Cedar Vale Elementary has a unique student population, with a higher percentage of White students (62.96%) compared to nearby Sedan Elementary (79.4%) and Dexter Elementary (90.7%). The school also has a higher percentage of students identifying as two or more races (24.69%). However, its academic performance is mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts, but underperforming in overall ELA, Math, and Science. Notably, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate (27.27%) was significantly lower than the state average (42.12%).

Despite having a higher per-student spending of $15,565 compared to Sedan Elementary ($13,062) and Dexter Elementary ($10,737), and a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.8, Cedar Vale Elementary's academic performance suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (46.91%) may indicate that the school faces socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student learning and achievement.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
