Ellinwood Elementary

Summary:

Ellinwood Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Ellinwood, Kansas, with 232 students. The school is part of the Ellinwood Public Schools district, which is ranked 185 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ellinwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Kansas elementary schools over the past several years, typically ranking between 300-500 out of around 650-670 schools. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally below the state averages, but the school's special education students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 21 out of 296 Kansas elementary schools in 2022-2023. Ellinwood Elementary's growing population of students from low-income families, as indicated by the increasing free and reduced lunch rate, may be a contributing factor to its overall lower academic performance.

While Ellinwood Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the state and some of the nearby higher-performing schools like Central Plains Elementary School - Holyrood and Jefferson Elementary, the school's ranking and rating within the middle range of Kansas elementary schools suggests there may be opportunities for improvement and growth. The performance gap between female and male students at Ellinwood Elementary is also noteworthy and may warrant further investigation to understand the underlying causes and develop strategies to support male students' academic achievement.

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.
