Summary:

Whitson Elementary is a public elementary school in Topeka, Kansas, serving around 450 students in grades PK-5. This school stands out as a high-performing institution within the Topeka Public Schools district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in academic proficiency across all grades and subjects.

Whitson Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong, with proficiency rates of 47.71% in English Language Arts, 38.8% in Math, and 59.69% in Science for the 2023-2024 school year, significantly exceeding the district's averages. The school's success extends to traditionally underserved student groups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, who all perform at or above state averages. This commitment to equity and inclusion is a notable strength of Whitson Elementary.

While Whitson Elementary is located in close proximity to several lower-performing Topeka Public Schools elementary schools, its success presents an opportunity for the district to learn from its effective practices and potentially replicate them to improve the broader educational landscape in Topeka. However, the school still has room for growth, as its 4th and 5th-grade performance lags behind the strong 3rd-grade results, and its overall ranking and rating, while improving, place it in the middle third of Kansas elementary schools.

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.
