Summary

McCormick Elementary is a small PK–5 school in Olsburg, Kansas, with 146 students, in the Blue Valley district. SchoolDigger ranks it 84th of 657 Kansas schools, at the 87th percentile with four stars; the district ranks 9th of 268, at the 97th percentile with five stars. In 2025–26, McCormick’s proficiency was 67% in ELA, 65% in math and 52% in science. The main takeaway is that results are above the state average in all three subjects, but science is a clear relative weakness.

Math is McCormick’s strongest comparison: its 65% proficiency was 24 points above the state, 8 points above the district and 12 points above the nearby-school average; it ranked third among ten nearby schools with scores. ELA was 67%, 21 points above the state, 3 above the district and 9 above nearby schools on average, also ranking third locally. Science was 52%—14 points above the state, but 15 below the district and 3 below the nearby average; only two of the nine nearby schools with science scores were lower. Grade-level results also differ: fourth-grade math was 76%, higher than every nearby school reporting that grade, while fifth-grade math was 57%, below five nearby schools, including Amanda Arnold Elementary and Riley County Grade School.

Math and ELA have improved over the longer term: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math rose 16 points and ELA rose 10. Science, reported for only two years, fell 13 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 72 in 2023–24 to 87 in 2025–26, tying Marlatt Elementary; Riley County Grade School and Amanda Arnold Elementary ranked higher. McCormick’s student–teacher ratio was 12.6, close to the nearby average of 12.7, and its chronic absenteeism rate was 4.1%, the lowest reported among nearby schools (6.2%–17.7%). A notable exception in SchoolDigger’s group-specific statewide rankings is Female Students: the school was at the 52nd percentile for how well it serves this group, compared with the 87th percentile overall. Its White Students ranking rose from the 60th percentile in 2023–24 to the 79th in 2025–26.
