Schilling Elementary

Summary:

Schilling Elementary is a public elementary school in Salina, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 408. The school is part of the Salina school district, which is ranked 178 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schilling Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, ranking between 474 and 609 out of 653-678 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating it is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in the state. Schilling Elementary consistently underperforms the Salina district and the state of Kansas in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade. The school performs relatively well in serving its Hispanic student population but struggles with its White student and English Language Learner (ELL) populations.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $12,774 in the 2018-2019 school year, the challenges of serving a high-poverty student population, with 78.55% to 82.11% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years, may be limiting its ability to improve student outcomes. Schilling Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools in the Salina district, such as Meadowlark Ridge Elementary and Cottonwood Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings.

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.
