Summary

New Stanley Elementary is a K–5 school serving 251 students in Kansas City, Kansas. Its latest results are mixed, but math is the clearest concern: 14% of students were proficient, compared with 16% in the district, 41% statewide and 29% at nearby schools on average. New Stanley ranked fourth-lowest in math among the 11 schools compared, including itself.

The school’s strongest results are in ELA and science relative to its district, though all three subjects are below state results. In ELA, 28% were proficient—5 percentage points above the district but 18 below the state—and the school ranked fifth among the 11 nearby schools; the nearby average was 34%. In science, 21% were proficient, 6 points above the district and 18 below the state. That is essentially the same as the nearby average of 21%, placing New Stanley sixth among the 11 schools.

Results have shifted over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math proficiency fell by 14 percentage points while the state result rose by 10; ELA improved by 7 points, but science declined by 4. In the latest year, ELA rose 4 points, while math fell 5 and science fell 8. SchoolDigger ranked New Stanley 618th of 657 statewide, at the 6th percentile with zero stars; its overall percentile has fluctuated, from 4 to 12 to 6 over the last three reported years.
