Welcome to Southwest Elementary, a Standard of Excellence School, located in Pratt, Kansas!

We are proud to show off our school to visitors, as we have recently added on beautiful new classrooms, a spacious gymnasium, and a new library. Our professional staff is warm and caring and strives to meet the individual educational needs of all of our students. Classroom instruction is designed around the Common Core standards that provide rigor and relevance in our curriculum. CGI Math(Cognitively Guided Instruction) is used in our classrooms to provide students with the opportunity to build on their own mathematical thinking. A multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) provides a prescriptive education for all students in reading and math.

Southwest students are fortunate to have access to first class technology that includes Smartboards and document cameras (in every classroom), as well as new ipad carts and mobile computer labs. The Character Counts program promotes the traits of Trustworthiness, Caring, Responsibility, Citizenship, Respect, and Fairness in our students. Southwest parents have the opportunity to join our awesome PTO that supports our school community through the year!! Parents can also take advantage of our Beyond the Bell after school program, which provides a snack, homework support, and enrichment activities for students in grades K-5.

Once a Greenback, Always a Greenback!
