Summary

Bentwood Elementary serves 366 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Overland Park, in the Olathe district. Its most important strength is that 2025–26 proficiency rates exceeded both state and district results in all three tested subjects: 76% in English language arts, 72% in math, and 58% in science.

Compared with 10 nearby schools, Bentwood’s advantage is clearest in English language arts and math: its results were 9 and 11 percentage points above the group averages, respectively, but only 1 point above the science average. It ranked second locally in English language arts, third in math, and sixth in science. Results also exceeded state averages by 30 points in English language arts, 31 in math, and 20 in science; they were 17, 14, and 12 points above Olathe results. Fifth-grade math is the notable caution: Bentwood’s 60% proficiency was 4 points below the district, though 15 points above the state, and ranked sixth among nearby schools. Grade-level results are snapshots, not evidence of how a single group of students progressed.

English language arts and math have improved substantially since 2022–23, rising 17 and 14 percentage points; science gained 3 points overall, with an 8-point rebound in the latest year after a dip. SchoolDigger gives Bentwood 5 stars and ranks it 42nd of 657 Kansas schools, at the 94th percentile; it ranks third among these 11 nearby schools, behind Regency Place Elementary and Pleasant Ridge Elementary. Its percentile rose from 86 to 94 over the past two years. Bentwood’s student-teacher ratio is 15.4, higher than all but one nearby school, while its free/reduced-lunch rate is 13%, compared with a nearby-school average of 22%—descriptive context, not an explanation for results. Chronic absenteeism was 4% in 2025–26, the lowest reported locally and below the district’s 13%.
