Summary:
The Oberlin Elementary is the sole elementary school serving the Oberlin area. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has shown some strengths, particularly in 5th-grade science proficiency. However, the school also faces challenges related to its socioeconomic factors, with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
Oberlin Elementary's statewide ranking has varied, going from 306 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 384 out of 660 in 2022-2023. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.2%) and Mathematics (34.1%) were slightly below the state averages, but its 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 57.5% was significantly higher than the state average of 45.03%. This suggests a particular strength or focus in science education at the school.
Oberlin Elementary's student-teacher ratio of 14.2 is slightly lower than the state average, which may help mitigate the challenges posed by its high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (57.04%). The school's per-student spending of $10,798 for the 2018-2019 school year provides insight into its resource allocation, though further analysis would be needed to determine how this compares to other schools in the state and how it may be contributing to the school's performance.
