Summary

Roesland Elementary serves 350 students in pre-K through grade 6 in Roeland Park, in the Shawnee Mission Public School District. Its 2025–26 state test results are above Kansas averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but performance is much lower than at nearby schools in the same district. The clearest concern is science: Roesland’s score is 29 percentage points below the average for those nearby district schools.

ELA is Roesland’s strongest subject compared with the district and local peers, while science is its weakest. Roesland scored 61% in ELA, 56% in math and 45% in science—15, 15 and 6 points above state averages, respectively. Compared with district averages, it was 1 point higher in ELA, 1 point lower in math and 4 points lower in science. The four nearby district schools averaged 79% in ELA, 72% in math and 74% in science. Across all ten nearby schools, Roesland ranks fourth in ELA and math and fifth in science, and its scores exceed the broader group’s averages in all three subjects. Attendance is another relative strength: chronic absenteeism was 11%, compared with 18% for both the district and state.

Results have varied over time, and all three subjects fell in the latest year: 6 points in ELA, 5 in math and 8 in science. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, science declined 11 points; ELA rose 2 points and math was essentially flat. Roesland is ranked 165th of 657 Kansas schools by SchoolDigger, at the 75th percentile with 4 stars. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 15.0, close to the average for nearby district schools, while its free/reduced-lunch rate was 45%, compared with their 19% average. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 97th percentile in 2023–24 to the 60th in 2025–26, below Roesland’s overall 75th-percentile standing. Its Hispanic Students measure also declined, from the 82nd percentile in 2024–25 to the 67th in 2025–26.
