Remington Elementary at Potwin

Remington Elementary at Potwin is a public elementary school in Potwin, Kansas, enrolling 210 students across prekindergarten through fourth grade. It ranks 31st among 1,293 public schools in Kansas, outperforming 98% of schools statewide, and claims the top spot among the three schools in the Remington-Whitewater district. The school earns an Exceptional composite score of 9.3 out of 10, built on a 9.5 academic rating and a standout 9.8 growth score.

That growth figure tells parents something the static academic score can't: students aren't just arriving ready — they're making sustained, measurable gains under Remington's instruction. A 15-to-1 student-teacher ratio helps drive that outcome. Smaller classes give teachers the bandwidth to identify each student's gaps early and accelerate progress rather than wait for deficits to surface on state assessments.

For families evaluating elementary options across south-central Kansas, Remington places 30th among 711 elementary schools statewide. That ranking reflects consistent strength across two separate measurements — academic achievement and student growth — rather than a single strong suit. The combination is relatively rare: most schools trade off one for the other.

Remington's data suggests it isn't making that compromise.

Located in a rural area, Remington Elementary at Potwin may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
