Williamsburg Elementary School

Q: Is Williamsburg Elementary School a good school?

Williamsburg Elementary School ranks 488 th of 653 Kansas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Williamsburg Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Williamsburg, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 102 students. The school is part of the West Franklin school district, which is ranked 186 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Williamsburg Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from a high of 152 out of 667 Kansas elementary schools in 2018-2019 (4-star rating) to a low of 533 out of 659 in 2016-2017 (1-star rating). In the most recent school year (2023-2024), the school ranked 488 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools with a 1-star rating. The school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly low performance in 3rd grade. However, the school's ranking for low-socioeconomic status (SES) students is relatively strong, suggesting that the high percentage of low-SES students (48.04%) may be a contributing factor to the school's overall lower academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Appanoose Elementary (same district) and Garnett Elementary (different district), Williamsburg Elementary School's performance is generally lower. For example, in 2023-2024, Appanoose Elementary had ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates of 36.25% and 36.25%, respectively, while Garnett Elementary had rates of 38.9% and 33.65%. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 12 students per teacher may also be a factor in its fluctuating performance and challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement.

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.
