Tomahawk Elementary

Summary:

Tomahawk Elementary is a public elementary school located in Olathe, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 341. It is part of the Olathe School District, which is ranked 55 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tomahawk Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grades. However, compared to the Olathe district average, the school performs better in 5th grade English Language Arts and Science, but lags behind in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has a strong performance for Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, and Special Education student groups, ranking in the top quartile of Kansas elementary schools, but struggles with its Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student group, ranking in the bottom quartile.

Tomahawk Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 134 to 288 out of 653-678 Kansas elementary schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 3 to 4 stars out of 5. Compared to nearby schools like Black Bob Elementary and Regency Place Elementary, Tomahawk generally performs better in test scores and student group performance, with the exception of the low-SES student group. The school's main challenge appears to be addressing the performance gap for its low-SES student population, which could benefit from targeted interventions and support.

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.
