Summary

Briarwood Elementary is in Prairie Village, Kansas, and serves pre-K through grade 6, with 674 students. Its 2025–26 results place it around the middle of the 10 nearby schools provided: it is above their average in English language arts (ELA) and math, but below their average in science. The most important finding is that Briarwood scored above both the state and the Shawnee Mission Public School District in all three subjects.

Math is Briarwood’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, while science is its clearest local weakness. About 72% of students were proficient in math and 72% in ELA, versus nearby averages of 65% and 69%; in science, 58% were proficient, compared with 65% at nearby schools. Briarwood’s results were also higher than state results by 31 points in math, 26 in ELA and 20 in science, and higher than district results by 15, 12 and 9 points, respectively. Among the 11 schools, Briarwood ranked fifth in ELA and science and seventh in math. Grade 5 ELA stands out: 86% proficiency was third-highest locally, behind Prairie Elementary and Tomahawk Elementary, and tied with Corinth Elementary.

Results have improved unevenly over four years: ELA rose 6 points and science 4 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while math fell 3 points. Briarwood still leads the state in every subject, though those leads have narrowed. SchoolDigger gives it a five-star rating and ranks it 41st of 657 Kansas schools, at the 94th percentile—down from a recent peak of 98, but fourth-highest among the 11 local schools. Its student-teacher ratio is 16.8, the second-highest in the local set and above the nearby average of 14.9; its free/reduced-lunch rate is 16%, compared with a nearby average of 28%. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Briarwood serves Hispanic students relative to the same group at other schools rose from the 57th percentile in 2020–21 to the 78th in 2021–22, while the overall school percentile was 96 in both years.
