Summary

Stanley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Overland Park, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 637 students. It is part of the highly-ranked Blue Valley School District, which is ranked 4th out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stanley Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Kansas elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science proficiency for all grades, but underperformed in Mathematics compared to the Blue Valley district average. Stanley's 5th-grade students have particularly strong performance, with 83.62% proficient or better in Science, compared to the Blue Valley and Kansas averages of 69.53% and 45.08%, respectively. The school also performs well for its multi-racial student population, ranking 4th out of 30 Kansas elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2022-2023 school year.

However, Stanley Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.4% in the 2024-2025 school year to 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school has increased from 8.67% in the 2021-2022 school year to 18.68% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a growing population of students from lower-income families. While Stanley Elementary performs well compared to other nearby schools in the Blue Valley district, such as Prairie Star Elementary and Harmony Elementary, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, which warrants further investigation.
