Nickerson Elementary School placed among the top 40% of Kansas elementary schools in U.S. News & World Report's 2027 Best Elementary Schools rankings, according to an announcement [USD 309](https://www.usd309ks.org/o/usd-309/article/3230585?ref=citizenjournal.us) posted on its district website Tuesday, Nov. 3\. The announcement did not give the school's exact rank.

The Nickerson-South Hutchinson district's announcement said, "This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, support staff, administrators, and families."

The ranking is the second state-level recognition this year for a Nickerson school, after Nickerson High School earned a [Kansas Board of Regents](https://kansasregents.gov/students/apply-kansas/all-star-high-schools?ref=citizenjournal.us) All-Star designation for postsecondary support in April.
