Ellinwood High

Summary:

Ellinwood High is a public high school located in Ellinwood, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 154 students. The school is part of the Ellinwood Public Schools district, which is ranked 185 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ellinwood High's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking ranging from 67 to 269 out of 320-327 Kansas high schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 163 out of 318 Kansas high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to nearby schools like Central Plains Junior Senior High School and Hoisington High School, Ellinwood High's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were lower than the state averages. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with inconsistent rankings for female and low socioeconomic status students.

Despite Ellinwood High's relatively high per-student spending of $13,512 and low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, its academic performance has not been consistently strong compared to nearby schools. The school serves a population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.62% to 47.73% over the past few years. This suggests that the school may be facing economic challenges that impact academic outcomes, and the school may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, support systems, and resource allocation to address these areas of concern and improve student performance.

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.
