Indian Creek Elementary

Summary:

Indian Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Olathe, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 365 students. While the Olathe School District is ranked 55 out of 266 districts in Kansas and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, Indian Creek Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past 8 years, with low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students at Indian Creek performing exceptionally well, ranking in the top 3-10 out of 72-74 Kansas elementary schools in this subgroup. However, Hispanic, White, and economically disadvantaged students at Indian Creek perform significantly worse than their peers in the Olathe district and statewide. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,858 and low student-teacher ratio, it has struggled to support the academic success of these student groups.

When compared to other nearby Heatherstone Elementary, Regency Place Elementary, and Black Bob Elementary, all of which are part of the Olathe district, Indian Creek Elementary generally performs worse on state assessments, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests that the challenges faced by Indian Creek Elementary may be unique to the school, rather than a district-wide issue, and warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the root causes of the school's underperformance.

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.
