Summary

Briarwood Elementary serves 315 students in PK–5 in Olathe, Kansas, and is part of the Olathe district. Its 2025–26 results were above state proficiency in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, with math the standout. The most important caution for families is that strong schoolwide math results mask a pronounced fourth-grade dip: 50% of fourth graders were proficient in math, 14 points below the district and 19 points below Briarwood’s all-grades result.

Compared with nearby schools, Briarwood ranked sixth of 10 in ELA, fourth in math, and fifth in science; its scores were above the nearby averages in all three, especially math. It also exceeded state results by 15 points in ELA, 28 in math, and 15 in science. Against the district, it was 2 points higher in ELA, 11 in math, and 7 in science, making ELA its weakest subject relative to Olathe. Third-grade math was a local high at 77%, ahead of the next-best result at Regency Place Elementary; fourth-grade math, by contrast, was lower than all but two nearby schools.

Math has risen 11 points since 2022–23, while science has fallen 10 points from its earlier result; ELA is up 13 points over that period but dipped in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks Briarwood 135th of 657 statewide, in the 79th percentile with four stars; its district rank is 44th of 268, in the 84th percentile with four stars. Briarwood’s student-teacher ratio is 13.8, above the nearby average of 12.5, while its free/reduced-lunch rate is 29%, below the nearby average of 36%; these are context, not explanations for achievement. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Hispanic students was at the 46th percentile in 2025–26, down from the 93rd percentile in 2023–24, while the overall ranking changed from the 80th to the 79th percentile. For students receiving special education, the ranking was at the 66th percentile, down from the 89th percentile in 2022–23, compared with an overall ranking that moved from the 82nd to the 79th percentile.
