The staff and students at Prairie View Elementary School have been hard at work this year and recently, the school was recognized for that work.
Last week, Prairie View Elementary School was named one of 100 schools in the state of Kansas named as a Challenge Award recipient. The Challenge Awards recognize schools for outstanding achievement and uncommon accomplishments of students based on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) results in math and reading, especially those students of an ethnic minority group and who qualify for free and reduced-price meals, according to a release from the State of Kansas. The graduation rates when calculating high school results and chronic absenteeism rates for middle and high schools are also included in the award criteria.
