McLouth Elementary

Summary:

McLouth Elementary is a public elementary school located in Mc Louth, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 237 students. The school is part of the McLouth School District, which is ranked 224 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McLouth Elementary's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, has been inconsistent over the years, with the school's ranking and rating fluctuating significantly. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.65%) and Mathematics (31.68%) were lower than the state averages. Compared to nearby schools, such as Linwood Elementary and Pleasant Ridge Elementary, McLouth Elementary's performance is mixed, with the neighboring schools outperforming it in both ELA and Math proficiency rates.

The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 43.58% to 48.1% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. While McLouth Elementary's per-student spending of $12,712 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio has been generally lower than nearby schools, the school's inconsistent performance suggests a need for a closer examination of its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure more consistent and improved student 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.
