State Street Elementary

Summary:

State Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Topeka, Kansas, serving 456 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Topeka Public Schools district.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to state and district averages, State Street Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the state and district. The school's English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are particularly concerning, with only 26.46% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 33.55% and the Topeka Public Schools district average of 21.33%. The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities.

Comparing State Street Elementary to nearby schools within the Topeka Public Schools district, such as Randolph Elementary and Lowman Hill Elementary, reveals that while the school performs similarly or slightly better in some areas, it still lags behind the state and district averages. Schools outside the Topeka Public Schools district, such as Logan Elementary and Shawnee Heights Elementary, significantly outperform State Street Elementary in academic measures, despite serving a more socioeconomically diverse student population.

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.
