Eugene Ware Elementary

Summary:

Eugene Ware Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Scott, Kansas, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 359 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the state average and lags behind the nearby West Bourbon Elementary school.

Eugene Ware Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.9%) and Mathematics (36.38%) are lower than the state averages (33.55% and 31.6%, respectively) and significantly behind West Bourbon Elementary's rates (55.09% and 50.33%). The school's performance in Science (44.44% proficient or better) is better than the state average (32.28%) but still trails West Bourbon Elementary (81.07%). The school's statewide ranking among Kansas elementary schools has consistently remained in the bottom half, ranging from 375 to 593 out of 653-678 schools.

Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with 61.62% to 66.3% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's resource allocation is comparable to the nearby Winfield Scott Elementary. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as targeted instructional strategies, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to Eugene Ware Elementary's underperformance. Addressing the specific needs of underperforming student subgroups and implementing effective instructional practices may be crucial for the school to improve its academic outcomes.

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.
