Jayhawk Elementary

Summary:

Jayhawk Elementary is a public elementary school located in Mound City, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 316 students. The school is part of the Jayhawk District, which is ranked 75 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Jayhawk Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels, with particularly strong performance in 3rd and 4th grade. The school's performance for male students and low socioeconomic status (SES) students is noteworthy, ranking in the top 25% and top 15% of Kansas elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for white students and special education students has been more mixed. Jayhawk Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.03% to 62.03% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to the nearby Prairie View District schools of Parker Elementary and Lacygne Elementary, Jayhawk Elementary generally outperforms these schools in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. However, Pleasanton Elementary, which is located closer to Jayhawk Elementary, has significantly lower proficiency rates in both subjects, suggesting that Jayhawk Elementary may be serving a more advantaged student population.

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.
