Corinth Elementary

Summary:

Corinth Elementary is a public elementary school located in Prairie Village, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 564 students. It is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District, which is ranked 46 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Corinth Elementary has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Kansas, ranking 1st or 2nd in the state for several years. It has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 school years, indicating exceptional academic performance. The school significantly outperforms the Shawnee Mission Public School District and the state of Kansas in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Corinth Elementary had 76.37% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45.71% for the district and 33.55% for the state. Corinth Elementary also ranks among the top schools in Kansas for both female and male student performance, as well as for its performance with white students, demonstrating an equitable and inclusive learning environment.

Despite its exceptional academic achievements, Corinth Elementary serves a relatively affluent community, with only 4.61% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly lower than the district and state averages. This raises questions about the school's ability to effectively support students from lower-income backgrounds, who may face unique challenges and require additional resources. When compared to other nearby schools in the Shawnee Mission Public School District, Corinth Elementary consistently outperforms its peers in academic proficiency rates, ranking among the top schools in the district and the state.

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 The teachers at this school are GREAT! However, as most "outsiders" will tell you, and even a few teachers, if you are not part of the "in" parent crowd, you are treated, and your kids will be treated less kindly then those kids whose parents have influence, are from the area or have lived their whole life.

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.
