What this means: About 65% of students here test proficient in math and reading, compared with the roughly 61% typical for Kansas schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations measures results against demographically similar schools rather than by raw scores, and this school falls within the typical range, neither among Kansas's top nor bottom 10%.

BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

How to read these scores

What is KAP?
KAP is the statewide standardized test administered by Kansas public schools.
What does "% Meeting + Exceeding" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 79.5% mean for English Language Arts at MacArthur Elem?
It means about 79.5 percent of students tested at MacArthur Elem performed at grade level or above on the KAP English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for Kansas that year was 44.5%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Kansas, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Kansas State Department of Education, Kansas Assessment Program (KAP). School-level All Students subgroup, scraped from the KSDE Report Card via Chrome MCP. Headline metric is the cumulative "Meeting + Exceeding" rate (Levels 3 + 4 on the 4-level KAP scale).
How often is it updated?
KAP is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
