Udall Elem

Udall Elementary serves 125 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Udall, Kansas. The school earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with an especially strong growth score of 9.7 out of 10, signaling that students here advance faster than peers at nearly every other school in the state. That growth performance anchors the school's statewide standing.

Udall Elementary ranks 38th out of 1,293 public Kansas schools, outperforming 97% of the state. Among elementary schools specifically, it holds 35th place out of 711 — firmly in the top 5%. Those numbers are rare for a school of 125 students in a small rural town.

Classrooms run at a 12.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio, keeping instruction tight enough for teachers to respond to individual progress. The academic score of 8.8 reflects solid proficiency, but the growth trajectory is what separates Udall from other strong schools — students gain measurable ground year over year at a rate most schools don't approach. For families in the Udall area, the data is clear: this is the top-ranked school among the three in town, and one of the strongest elementary programs in Kansas.

With an enrollment of 125 students, Udall Elem is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Udall Elem 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.
