Canton-Galva Elementary

Summary:

Canton-Galva Elementary is a public elementary school serving 204 students in grades PK-5 in Galva, Kansas, which is part of the Canton-Galva school district. The school consistently performs below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, with its ranking among Kansas elementary schools fluctuating over the years.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Hillsboro Elementary and Hesston Elementary, Canton-Galva Elementary faces significant challenges. Its student subgroups, including female students, White students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% of Kansas elementary schools. Despite spending more per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, the school's academic performance lags behind, suggesting that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the school's challenges.

The Canton-Galva school district is ranked 236 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's low rankings and ratings, coupled with its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicate that Canton-Galva Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with the nearby high-performing 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.
