Better than 91% of Kansas elementary schools

Summary

Sunnyside Elementary School serves 316 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Olathe, Kansas. Its clearest distinction is mathematics: 78% of students were proficient in 2025–26, the highest result among Sunnyside and the 10 nearby schools supplied, and 20 percentage points above Olathe.

Mathematics is Sunnyside’s strongest subject: its result was 37 points above Kansas and 2 points ahead of the next-highest nearby school, Timber Sage Elementary School. English language arts is also above district and state results—67%, compared with 59% in Olathe and 46% statewide—but is closer to local norms: Sunnyside ranks fifth among the 11 schools, just 1 point above their average. Science is the clearest area to watch. Sunnyside’s 52% is above district and state results by 6 and 14 points, but 5 points below the nearby-school average; only three nearby schools score lower. In fifth-grade science, Sunnyside is 1 point below the district result.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, English language arts rose 13 points and mathematics rose 8, while science fell 8; year-to-year results varied. Reported chronic absenteeism dropped from 31% in 2022–23 to 4% in 2025–26, the lowest rate among the 11 schools, though it is too soon to know whether the sharp drop will continue. SchoolDigger gives Sunnyside five stars and a statewide ranking at the 91st percentile (58th of 657); five nearby schools rank higher. Its Special Education Students group ranks at the 97th percentile, up from the 46th percentile in 2021–22, while the school’s overall percentile rose from 86 to 91. The student-teacher ratio is 13.9, and 10% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Proficiency and ranking figures do not show individual student growth, and the latest absenteeism rate may not persist.
