Summary:
The 66641 zip code is home to a single elementary school, LTG Richard J. Seitz Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 659 students. The school is part of the Geary County Schools district, which is ranked 105 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
LTG Richard J. Seitz Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide SchoolDigger ranking, ranging from 197 out of 660 schools in 2022-2023 to 399 out of 668 schools in 2021-2022. The school's performance on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the district and state averages, while others are below. For example, the school had higher proficiency rates than the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) for all grades, 3rd grade, and 4th grade, but the 5th grade ELA proficiency rate was lower. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were similar to the district but higher than the state for all grades and 3rd grade, while the 4th and 5th grade Math proficiency rates were lower than the district and state.
The school's relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 40.21% suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may impact academic performance. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 17.3 to 1 is relatively low, which could indicate a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. Overall, while LTG Richard J. Seitz Elementary has some areas of strength, it also faces challenges that may require further analysis and comparison to other schools or districts to identify opportunities for improvement.
