Apache Elementary

Summary:

Apache Elementary is a public elementary school located in Overland Park, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 526. It is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District, which is ranked 46 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Apache Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, with a ranking between 469-547 out of 653-670 schools over the past 7 years. The school's performance on state assessments (KAP) is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects, particularly in Mathematics. Apache Elementary also struggles with wide achievement gaps between student subgroups, with its Special Education and Disabled student populations ranking in the bottom 10% of Kansas elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.74% to 71.48% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While Apache Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than most of the nearby schools in the Shawnee Mission district, such as East Antioch, Rosehill, and Shawanoe Elementary, its performance is comparable to Overland Park Elementary, which is also a lower-performing school in the district. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the relatively high student-teacher ratio at Apache Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, presenting an opportunity for the school and district to implement strategic initiatives to improve student outcomes.

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.
