Summary:
The Yates Center Elementary is the sole elementary school located in Woodson, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 312 students. While it is the only school in the immediate area, the data provides insights into how it performs compared to state averages.
Yates Center Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, indicating a relatively stable level of performance. The school's strengths lie in Science and Math proficiency, with rates exceeding the state averages. However, English Language Arts (ELA) performance shows more variability across grade levels, with 4th grade being a standout while 5th and 6th grades lag behind. This suggests a potential need to examine the school's ELA curriculum and instructional practices, particularly in the upper elementary grades.
The school serves a population with a higher level of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, which could be an indication of the district's commitment to providing adequate resources and funding. Overall, Yates Center Elementary appears to be a relatively stable, mid-performing school with some areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
