Scott Dual Language Magnet

Summary:

Scott Dual Language Magnet is an elementary school in Topeka, Kansas that serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Topeka Public Schools district. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scott Dual Language Magnet faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.21% to 87.21% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 23.31% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.13% proficient or better in math. The school's subgroups, including Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, also perform poorly compared to state and district averages.

When comparing Scott Dual Language Magnet to nearby schools in the Topeka Public Schools district, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming its peers. For example, Lowman Hill Elementary and Meadows Elementary have significantly higher academic performance and lower percentages of free/reduced lunch students. The dual language program at Scott Dual Language Magnet may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles, as it requires additional resources and support to effectively implement. Despite the school's current challenges, there may be opportunities for improvement if the unique needs of the school and its student population are addressed through targeted interventions and support services.

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.
