5^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 340 Kansas High Schools

Better than 99% of Kansas high schools

Summary

Blue Valley High serves 1,396 students in grades 9–12 in Stilwell, Kansas, among several nearby high schools. Its academic results are strong compared with Kansas overall, but less consistent against the Blue Valley district. The clearest takeaway is strong statewide achievement paired with a notable science shortfall against its district.

Math is the school’s strongest subject: 71% of students were proficient, compared with 41% statewide and 69% in the district; nearby schools averaged 59%. Science is the biggest district-level weakness: 53% were proficient, 10 percentage points below the district, though 14 points above Kansas and 9 points above nearby schools’ average. ELA results were 66%—4 points below the district but 21 points above the state and 6 points above the nearby-school average. The school ranked fourth among ten nearby schools in all three subjects.

Results rose from 2022–23 to 2025–26: math gained 30 percentage points, ELA 20, and science 4. The gap over Kansas widened in math and ELA but narrowed in science; relative to the district, math moved from 15 points behind to 2 points ahead, while science fell further behind. SchoolDigger ranks the school 5th of 340 in Kansas, at the 99th percentile with five stars; its percentile has stayed between 97 and 99 in the years shown. Its student-teacher ratio is 15.0, slightly above the 14.6 average among nearby traditional high schools. The reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 12%, the third-lowest among ten nearby schools with data. One historical exception in SchoolDigger’s group rankings is Gifted and Talented students: the group ranked at the 43rd percentile in both 2018–19 and 2020–21, versus the school overall at the 97th and 99th percentiles, respectively; these rankings describe how the school served the group relative to peers and are not recent.
