Chanute Elementary School

Summary:

Chanute Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 813 students in grades PK-5 in Chanute, Kansas, which is part of the Chanute Public Schools district. The school has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Kansas elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 433 out of 653 schools and a 2-star rating.

Chanute Elementary School's test scores are generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects, with only 37.02% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 28.94% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to state averages of 33.55% and 31.6%, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 70.11% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Interestingly, Hispanic students at Chanute Elementary perform significantly better than the school's overall performance, ranking 54th out of 260 Kansas elementary schools in 2023-2024, while White students and students of multi-racial backgrounds perform much worse, ranking in the bottom 25% of Kansas elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Yates Center Elementary, which is about 20 miles away, Chanute Elementary School generally performs worse on test scores and has a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch. This suggests that the school may face significant challenges in terms of student learning and achievement, and the district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
