Summary

Ray Marsh Elementary is a PK–6 school in Shawnee, Kansas, serving 458 students in the Shawnee Mission Public School District. Its latest results show strong performance compared with state and district benchmarks, though not every subject or grade is equally strong. Most importantly, in 2025–26 the school’s all-grades proficiency rates were above both the state and district in ELA, math, and science.

ELA is Ray Marsh’s strongest area, while science is its weakest relative to nearby schools and district results. The school scored 69% in ELA, 61% in math, and 51% in science, compared with district rates of 60%, 57%, and 49%, and state rates of 46%, 41%, and 38%. Among eight nearby same-district PK–6 schools, Ray Marsh ranked second in ELA, third in math, and fourth in science; its scores were 16, 12, and 5 points above those schools’ respective averages. Mill Creek Elementary led Ray Marsh in ELA and science, while Rhein Benninghoven Elementary led in math. Grade-level results also vary: fourth-grade ELA and third-grade math were below district rates, while fifth- and sixth-grade ELA stood out among nearby schools.

Ray Marsh’s recent trend is mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 6 points, while math fell 14 points and science fell 19 points. The school remains above state results, but its lead narrowed in each subject. SchoolDigger ranks Ray Marsh 97 of 657 Kansas schools, at the 85th percentile with 4 stars, down from the 97th percentile in 2022–23. Its student-teacher ratio was 15.1, and its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was 32%, compared with a 52% average among nearby same-district peers; neither figure establishes a cause of test results. Chronic absenteeism was 9%, below the district and state rates of 18%. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also show notable shifts in how well the school serves student groups: its Special Education Students ranking fell from the 98th percentile in 2023–24 to the 75th in 2025–26, while its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking rose from the 74th percentile in 2024–25 to the 93rd in 2025–26.
