Osage City Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Kansas elementary schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the Osage City district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with particularly strong results in 4th grade ELA. However, the school's 5th grade Mathematics performance lags behind the state. Osage City Elementary has performed well for female and male students, as well as for low socioeconomic status students, but has struggled with its special education and disabled student populations.

Compared to nearby schools, Osage City Elementary appears to be performing at a similar or slightly higher level, with the exception of Lebo Elementary, which has consistently outperformed Osage City in both ELA and Mathematics. Despite the challenges faced by its student population, which has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Osage City Elementary seems to be maximizing its resources to support student learning, as evidenced by its relatively low student-teacher ratio and below-average per-student spending.

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.
