Roesland Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency was 66.83%, compared to 57.24% for the district and 44.47% for the state. Similarly, Roesland's Mathematics proficiency was 61.77%, compared to 52.56% for the district and 38.73% for the state.

While Roesland's academic performance is generally stronger than nearby schools within the Shawnee Mission district, such as Highlands Elementary and Prairie Elementary, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.8% in 2022-2023 to 19.5% and 18.4% in the following two school years. This trend warrants further investigation and intervention to improve student attendance and ensure Roesland's continued academic success.
