I X L Elementary

Summary:

I X L Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arkansas City, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 197. The school is part of the Arkansas City school district, which is ranked 244 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, I X L Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, with a ranking between 490 and 616 out of around 650-680 schools.

I X L Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates across core subject areas, particularly in Mathematics. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.15% to 21.73% across grade levels, significantly below the state and district averages. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 71.12% to 80.2% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, as evidenced by the stronger performance of nearby schools like C 4 Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, and Frances Willard Elementary, which have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing I X L Elementary to schools outside the Arkansas City district, such as those in the Winfield and Oxford districts, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced. Schools like Country View Elementary, Oxford Elementary, and Lowell Elementary consistently outperform I X L Elementary in academic proficiency, with some schools ranking in the top half or top quarter of Kansas elementary schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
