Lacygne Elementary

Summary:

Lacygne Elementary is a public elementary school located in LaCygne, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 206 students. The school is part of the Prairie View school district, which is ranked 102 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lacygne Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 371 and 545 out of around 650-670 schools. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a 1-star rating in 2020-2021 and 2018-2019. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state and district averages across all grades, with particularly low performance in 5th grade. Lacygne Elementary's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students and white students performing below the state averages.

However, the school performs relatively well for low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 15% of Kansas schools in 2023-2024. Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the state average, the academic performance does not reflect this higher level of investment. Nearby schools in the Prairie View district, such as Parker Elementary, have higher test scores and ratings, while other nearby schools, such as Pleasanton Elementary, have even lower performance.

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.
