College Hill Elementary

Summary:

College Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 395 students in grades PK-5. Despite being part of the low-performing Wichita school district, College Hill consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and science.

College Hill's academic performance is especially noteworthy, with 43.36% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 19.95% for Wichita and 33.55% for Kansas. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 53.84% also far exceeds the district and state averages. This strong performance extends to specific student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who rank among the top in the state. Despite having a higher percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, College Hill maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which may contribute to its success in supporting these students.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Wichita district, College Hill stands out as a high-performing outlier. While the district as a whole is ranked 252 out of 266 districts in Kansas, College Hill has consistently ranked in the top half of Kansas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school may have unique strengths or resources that could be valuable for other schools in the district to learn from, making it a noteworthy example in the Wichita educational landscape.

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.
