Edith Scheuerman Elementary

Summary:

Edith Scheuerman Elementary is a public elementary school in Garden City, Kansas, serving 180 students in grades K-4. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past decade, with academic performance below the state and district averages.

Edith Scheuerman's struggles are evident in its low proficiency rates on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests, particularly in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, nearby schools like Holcomb Elementary 3-5 and Jennie Wilson Elementary have significantly higher academic performance, often exceeding state and district averages. The school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds and its large Hispanic student population may be contributing factors, though Hispanic students at Edith Scheuerman have performed better than the overall student population.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools, its academic performance remains low, raising questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation. Addressing the challenges at Edith Scheuerman Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the school's unique demographic and resource factors, as well as learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools.

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.
