Best Public Schools in Zip Code 67209

Summary:

The 67209 zip code in Kansas has only one school, Benton Elementary, which serves grades PK-5. Based on the available data, Benton Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, ranking 498 out of 653 Wichita elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Benton Elementary has 290 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.8, slightly higher than the state average. The school spends $12,581 per student, which is above the state average. However, Benton Elementary's performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 32% of students proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 33.55% and the district average of 19.95%.

The data suggests that Benton Elementary is a low-performing school that has struggled to improve its academic outcomes over the past three school years, despite having relatively high per-student spending and a student-teacher ratio slightly above the state average. The school's high poverty population, with 76.21% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its poor performance, but further investigation would be needed to determine the root causes and potential solutions.
