Summary

Ridgeview Elementary serves 260 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Olathe, part of the Olathe School District. The district has a strong overall SchoolDigger standing—4 stars and the 84th statewide percentile—but Ridgeview has 1 star and ranks at the 16th percentile, or 555th of 657 schools, in 2025–26. The main concern is that Ridgeview’s proficiency is low in all three tested subjects: 31% in ELA, 31% in math and 24% in science.

Compared with nearby Olathe elementary schools serving the same grades, Ridgeview is lowest in math and science and second-lowest in ELA. Its results trail the nearby-school averages by 17 points in ELA, 20 in math and 16 in science. They are also below state averages by 15, 10 and 14 points, respectively, and below district averages by 27, 27 and 22 points. Math is Ridgeview’s closest result to the state average, while science is closest to the district and nearby-school averages; ELA is its weakest comparison with both the state and district. Even its relatively stronger subject results remain well behind the nearby-school averages.

Scores have improved from 2022–23 in ELA, up 10 points to 31%, and math, up 6 points to 31%, while science stayed at 24%. The progress has not been steady: ELA fell 8 points in the latest year, and science fell 2, while math rose 1. Ridgeview’s SchoolDigger percentile rose from 16 to 25 before falling back to 16 in 2025–26. Its student–teacher ratio is relatively low at 9.7, compared with the nearby-school average of 11.8; its free/reduced-lunch rate is 65%, versus a peer average of 57%. SchoolDigger’s statewide measures of how well the school serves student groups are notably higher for English Language Learners (52nd percentile) and Special Education students (57th) than Ridgeview’s overall 16th percentile.
