Summary:
The 67552 zip code has only one school, Lewis Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 75 students. The school is part of the Lewis school district, which is ranked 258 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lewis Elementary is struggling academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 22.22%, compared to the state average of 33.55%. However, the school's science proficiency rates are more mixed, with the all-grades rate of 40% exceeding the state average of 32.28% in 2023-2024. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with proficiency rates remaining low compared to state averages.
Despite the low academic performance, Lewis Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 61.33% in 2022-2023, and the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,687, which is above the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.5 to 1 in 2022-2023. These factors suggest that the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population and that additional resources are being directed towards the school, but the consistent low performance over the years indicates that there may be systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
