Skyline Elementary

Summary:

Skyline Elementary is a public elementary school in Pratt, Kansas, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 280 students. This school is part of the Skyline Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skyline Elementary has shown consistent academic performance, with its students outperforming the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade, where its ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates were 56% and 80%, respectively, significantly higher than the state averages. Skyline Elementary has also demonstrated strong performance among its subgroups, particularly for female students and low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 25% and top 3% of Kansas elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.

While Skyline Elementary's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are favorable, the school has seen a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rate, from 32.43% in the 2020-2021 school year to 56.43% in the 2022-2023 school year. This trend suggests that the school is serving a growing population of students from low-income families, which may have implications for the school's resource allocation and support services. Skyline Elementary's proximity to other high-performing schools in the region, such as Cunningham Elementary and Haviland Elementary, provides opportunities for collaboration and shared best practices, while the school's fluctuations in statewide ranking highlight the need for ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions to maintain its positive trajectory.

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.
