Northeast Elementary

Summary:

Northeast Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arma, Kansas, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 341 students. The school is part of the Northeast District, which is ranked 230 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Northeast Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (23.93%) and Mathematics (18.3%) well below the state averages of 33.55% and 31.6%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd and 7th grade English Language Arts, as well as 7th and 8th grade Mathematics, where proficiency rates are below 15%. Additionally, Northeast Elementary's performance is consistently lower for all student subgroups compared to the state averages, including female, male, white, special education, low socioeconomic status, and disabled students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Winfield Scott Elementary, Southeast Elementary School, and the Pittsburg-area schools, generally outperform Northeast Elementary on state assessments and have higher rankings. Schools like R.V. Haderlein Elementary in Girard and Frank Layden Elementary in Frontenac, which are within a 10-mile radius, have significantly higher academic performance and rankings compared to Northeast Elementary. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, its academic performance has remained consistently low over the past several years, with little to no improvement in its state ranking or assessment scores.

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.
