Summary

Mahaffie Elementary serves 449 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Olathe, Kansas, in the Olathe district. Its latest achievement picture is mixed: science is a strength, while ELA and math trail district results. The clearest takeaway is that science is the only subject in which Mahaffie currently exceeds both state and district proficiency rates.

In 2025–26, science proficiency was 48%, compared with 38% statewide and 46% in the district; the nearby-school average was 40%, placing Mahaffie fourth among ten schools. ELA was 45.5%, just below the state’s 45.9% and 13 points below the district’s 59%; its 47% nearby-school average put Mahaffie sixth. Math was 46%—5 points above the state, but 12 below the district and below the nearby-school average of 49%, also ranking sixth locally. So science is the clearest relative strength, while ELA and math fall short of district results and sit around the middle of nearby schools.

Results have fluctuated rather than steadily improved: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 5 points to 46%, math fell 1 point to 46%, and science was essentially unchanged at 48%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also declined, from the 60th percentile and three stars in 2024–25 to the 47th percentile and two stars in 2025–26. There are positive signs beyond test scores: reported chronic absenteeism dropped from 38% in 2022–23 to 9% in 2025–26, below the district’s 13% and the state’s 18%. Mahaffie has the largest enrollment and highest student–teacher ratio among the nine nearby Olathe schools: 449 students and a 14.3 ratio, compared with local averages of 311 and 11.3. Its free/reduced-lunch rate is 44%, third-lowest among the ten schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students was notably higher than the school’s overall ranking, at the 87th percentile versus the 47th; Hispanic Students’ ranking fell from the 71st percentile to the 26th in one year.
