Despite serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 40.48% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Lecompton Elementary appears to be providing effective instruction and support, as evidenced by its stronger academic performance compared to the district and state. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,118 and favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.4 may be contributing factors to its academic success, though the fluctuations in its ranking and rating warrant further investigation to understand the school's long-term trajectory.
