Prairie View Elementary School

Summary:

Prairie View Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Liberal, Kansas, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 401 students. The school is part of the Liberal school district, which is ranked 266 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Prairie View Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 548 out of 653 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating.

The academic performance at Prairie View Elementary is a significant concern, with only 24.72% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 21.5% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 33.55% and 31.6%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students. Additionally, Prairie View Elementary has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 85.54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Prairie View Elementary to other schools in the Liberal school district, it becomes clear that the academic performance issues are not unique to this school. The nearby MacArthur, Meadowlark, Cottonwood, and Sunflower Elementary schools all have similarly low rankings and academic proficiency rates, suggesting that the challenges facing the Liberal school district as a whole may be contributing to the struggles of individual schools like Prairie View Elementary.

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.
