Summary

Gray Hawk Elementary School serves 285 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in the Basehor-Linwood district, which SchoolDigger ranks 24th of 268 Kansas districts. The school’s strongest headline is that it scored above the state in all three tested subjects in 2025–2026, with particularly strong results in science.

Science is Gray Hawk’s clearest strength: 65% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 51% in the district, placing the school second among 10 nearby schools. In English language arts, 69% were proficient—23 points above the state and 8 above the district—and Gray Hawk ranked third among nearby schools. Mathematics is the relative weak spot: 60% were proficient, 19 points above the state but only 2 above the district, and the school ranked fifth among nearby schools. Its math result was also 9 points above the nearby-school average; the school was 12 points above that average in science and 12 points above it in ELA.

Results improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Gray Hawk gained 9 points in ELA, 15 in mathematics and 27 in science. Over the same period, its SchoolDigger standing rose from the 60th percentile and three stars to the 83rd percentile and four stars; its current rank is 111th of 657 Kansas schools. The subgroup rankings show a notable difference: in 2024–2025, SchoolDigger placed Special Education Students at the 37th percentile, below the school’s overall 60th-percentile standing; the White Students ranking rose from the 53rd to the 82nd percentile over the two years shown. Gray Hawk’s student-teacher ratio is 12.2, while chronic absenteeism was 11% in 2025–2026, higher than the district’s 7% and the 3%–5% range at its three nearby schools in the same district, but below the state’s 18%. The test results cover two years, so they do not show whether the recent gains will continue.
