Summary

Gray Hawk Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Basehor, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 262 students. The school is part of the Basehor-Linwood School District, which is ranked 31 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's performance on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests is generally lower than the Basehor-Linwood district and the state of Kansas averages, there are some areas of concern. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were 59.83% and 45.23%, respectively, compared to the district's 60.64% and 54.91%, and the state's 44.47% and 38.73%. The school's 5th-grade ELA and Math proficiency rates were particularly low, at 48.88% and 36.36%, respectively, compared to the district and state. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rate for all grades was 37.77%, significantly lower than the district's 60.21% and the state's 41.44%. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.6% to 19.7% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Comparing Gray Hawk Elementary School to its nearby counterparts within the Basehor-Linwood district, it is clear that the school faces some challenges. Linwood Elementary School and Basehor Elementary School consistently outperform Gray Hawk Elementary School on KAP tests, with higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science. Similarly, Glenwood Ridge Elementary School has higher proficiency rates than Gray Hawk Elementary School across most subject areas and grade levels. While the nearby schools in the Bonner Springs and Piper-Kansas City districts generally have lower proficiency rates than Gray Hawk Elementary School, the school could still benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to better serve its students and improve their educational outcomes.
