Lecompton Elementary

Summary:

Lecompton Elementary has shown fluctuating academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from the top 24% in 2020-2021 to the bottom 26% in 2015-2016. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.93%) and Mathematics (44.24%) are higher than the district (31.35% and 27.15%) and state (33.55% and 31.6%) averages, particularly in 4th-grade English Language Arts (45.89%) and 3rd-grade Mathematics (51.91%). However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, has been in the bottom 30-40% of Kansas elementary schools, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support.

Addressing the school's challenges and learning from the top-performing nearby schools could help Lecompton Elementary continue to improve and provide a high-quality education for its students.

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.
