Summary:
The La Crosse Elementary is the sole elementary school serving the LaCrosse area. While it outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, particularly in the lower grades, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, suggesting areas for improvement.
La Crosse Elementary serves 143 students in grades PK-6, with nearly half of the student population receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance is mixed, with stronger results in the lower grades that decline in the upper grades. In the 2023-2024 school year, La Crosse Elementary ranked 304th out of 653 Kansas elementary schools, a drop from its previous 2-star, 354th ranking.
While La Crosse Elementary spends a relatively high $12,826 per student, the school's declining statewide ranking and performance in the upper grades suggest a need to re-evaluate instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's strengths and areas for improvement provide valuable insights for the community and school leaders to consider as they work to enhance the educational experience for all students.
