Enterprise Elementary

Summary:

Enterprise Elementary is a public elementary school located in Enterprise, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 85 students. The school is part of the Chapman school district, which is ranked 96 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Enterprise Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of 110 out of 659 Kansas elementary schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) to its current ranking of 493 out of 653 schools (1-star rating) for the 2023-2024 school year. The school consistently underperforms compared to the state and its local district in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with only 28.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and 17.94% in Mathematics. However, the school's performance in Science is relatively stronger, with 49.99% of students proficient or better, compared to 43.6% in the Chapman district and 32.28% statewide.

Enterprise Elementary's low rankings for its female, white, and low-socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups indicate significant achievement gaps. The school spends $13,826 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools in the Chapman district, such as Blue Ridge Elementary and Rural Center Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics. The school's high poverty rate, with 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

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.

The teachers there are Amazing. Last year the 5th grade teach was an exception. School board let the community down by losing our old super and the rural distract principle. Not impressed with the new super at all or the new principle. Close Quote

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.
