Summary:
Basehor, Kansas, has six schools: three elementary schools, one middle school, one high school and a K–12 virtual alternative school. The elementary schools’ 2025–26 averages were 71% in ELA, 64% in math and 65% in science, compared with state results of 46%, 41% and 38%; the most important overall finding is that strong elementary results sit alongside much weaker virtual-school math results, so performance varies substantially by school.
Basehor Elementary School leads the six-school group in all three subjects, with 75% proficient in ELA, 71% in math and 69% in science. At the other end, Basehor-Linwood Virtual School has the lowest results in each: 45% in ELA, 27% in math and 44% in science. Its math result is 14 points below the state and 33 points below the average of the other five schools. Grade-level results also differ among the elementary schools: Glenwood Ridge Elementary School leads 3rd-grade ELA and math, while Gray Hawk Elementary School leads 4th-grade ELA and math. Basehor-Linwood High School also stands out for graduation: its 2023–24 rate was 100%, compared with 90% statewide.
Recent changes are mixed: Gray Hawk had the largest gains in math and science, up 15 and 27 points, respectively, while Glenwood Ridge science fell 17 points. Basehor Elementary’s SchoolDigger rank rose to 22nd of 657 elementary schools in 2025–26, and Gray Hawk improved to 111th of 657; Basehor-Linwood High School ranked 26th of 340 high schools. The elementary schools have similar reported free/reduced-lunch rates (19%–23%) and student–teacher ratios (12.2–14.2), while the Virtual School’s ratio is 27.8; these figures describe different school contexts, not reasons for score differences. Because the Virtual School serves a different grade span and school type, it is not a like-for-like comparison with the conventional schools.
