Schwegler Elementary

Summary:

Schwegler Elementary is a public elementary school in Lawrence, Kansas, serving 314 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by state assessment scores, is generally lower than the Lawrence school district and the state of Kansas averages.

Schwegler Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school performs relatively well for Hispanic students, ranking 34th out of 245 Kansas elementary schools in 2022-2023. However, it struggles with the performance of male students, ranking 484th out of 605 Kansas elementary schools in 2020-2021. The school also performs poorly for students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 25% of Kansas elementary schools in these categories.

Compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Langston Hughes Elementary and Quail Run Elementary, which consistently rank among the top 10-15% of Kansas elementary schools, Schwegler Elementary's academic performance is generally lower. These higher-performing schools have lower percentages of students from low-income backgrounds and higher student-teacher ratios compared to Schwegler Elementary, suggesting that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of its underperforming subgroups to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
