Chisholm Trail Elementary

Summary:

Chisholm Trail Elementary is a public elementary school located in Park City, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 417 students. While the school is part of the Wichita school district, which is ranked 252 out of 266 districts in the state, Chisholm Trail has consistently outperformed the district average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grades.

Chisholm Trail's academic performance is particularly strong in 5th grade ELA, where 33.92% of students were proficient or better, compared to 22.29% for Wichita and 39.3% for the state. The school's 3rd-grade Mathematics performance is also a standout, with 35.48% of students proficient or better, compared to 26.07% for Wichita and 50.23% for the state. Additionally, the school's African American and Hispanic students have performed exceptionally well compared to their peers in the state, with rankings in the top half and top third, respectively.

While Chisholm Trail's overall ranking has remained in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, the school has shown signs of improvement in recent years, with increasing ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates and a better ranking for low-socioeconomic status students. However, the school still lags behind the state average in many areas and faces challenges in improving its overall performance, particularly in comparison to nearby Ortiz Elementary and Earhart Environ Magnet Elementary, which significantly outperform Chisholm Trail.

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.
