Summary

Heritage Elementary is a public elementary school located in Olathe, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 335. It is part of the Olathe School District, which is ranked 48 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Heritage Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past 5 years, with academic performance significantly lower than the Olathe district and Kansas state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 37.75% of Heritage Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 54.07% in Olathe and 44.47% statewide. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19.7% to 21.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Heritage Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.72% to 40.3% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools in the Olathe district, such as Sunnyside Elementary, Tomahawk Elementary, Briarwood Elementary, and Black Bob Elementary, Heritage Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower, with these nearby schools having higher rankings and better test scores. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to Heritage Elementary's underperformance, such as student engagement, teacher quality, and family support, could be crucial in improving the school's outcomes.
