Havencroft Elementary

Summary:

Havencroft Elementary is a public elementary school located in Olathe, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 255. Despite being part of the Olathe School District, which is ranked 55 out of 266 districts in Kansas, Havencroft has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past 5 years.

Havencroft's academic performance is a significant concern, with students scoring below the Olathe district and Kansas state averages on state assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.7% of Havencroft students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.71% in Olathe and 33.55% statewide. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 34.08% of Havencroft students were proficient or better, compared to 43.89% in Olathe and 31.6% statewide. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students performing particularly poorly.

Interestingly, Havencroft's academic performance is generally lower than the other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Central Elementary, Brougham Elementary, and Green Springs Elementary. These nearby schools, while still part of the Olathe district, have higher rankings and better academic outcomes on state assessments. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the state average, Havencroft's academic challenges persist, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems.

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.

Open Quote The teachers here are fantastic and really try to help their students excel. The current principal here, though, seems rather high-handed and does not seem to communicate with parents well on things that I would expect notification on. Close Quote

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.
