Summary:

Timmerman Elementary is a public elementary school located in Emporia, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 386. This school consistently outperforms the Emporia school district and the state of Kansas in academic proficiency across all grades and subjects.

Timmerman Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong, with 46.76% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 45.49% in Mathematics, and 44.64% in Science, significantly higher than the Emporia district and the state of Kansas. The school's performance is also noteworthy across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, and White students, as well as for English Language Learner and Special Education students.

The school significantly outperforms the other Emporia elementary schools, such as Logan Ave Elementary and W.A. White Elementary, in academic proficiency. This success may be attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, which allows for more individualized attention and support for students, even with a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.

Open Quote My twins are in Timmerman. They absolutely love it. The principal is extremely responsive in replying and addressing any concerns. I am very picky and have only been impressed with this school this far. The teachers you can tell are happy to be there. PTO is great and I feel very warmed and welcome when volunteering in class or at their parties. If there was a scale of 1-10, I'd rate Timmerman a 10! Close Quote

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.
