Summary:
The El Dorado school district in Kansas consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The data reveals significant performance disparities between the schools, with Grandview Elementary standing out as a high-performing school and the El Dorado district as a whole underperforming compared to the state.
Grandview Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 46% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 45.12% proficient in Math, compared to 23.23% and 17.15% for the district, respectively. In contrast, Blackmore Elementary and Skelly Elementary have significantly lower academic performance, which may be linked to their higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for socioeconomic status.
While El Dorado High School is still below the state average, the data indicates that the school has been making progress in recent years, with increases in proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. However, the El Dorado district as a whole is ranked 243 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting the need for the district to address the root causes of its overall underperformance.
