Summary

Leawood Elementary serves 533 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Leawood, Kansas, and is part of the Blue Valley district. In 2025–26, 75% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 66% in math and 64% in science; each rate was well above the state average. SchoolDigger ranked the school 45th of 657 Kansas schools, in the 93rd percentile, with five stars. Its clearest strength is ELA: the rate was 5 percentage points above the district and 29 points above the state.

Compared with nearby schools, results are strongest in ELA and more mixed in math and science. Leawood ranked fourth of 10 nearby schools in ELA, with 75% proficiency versus a 73% nearby average. Math proficiency was 66%, 3 points below the district and 2 points below the nearby average; Leawood ranked sixth locally. Science was 64%, 1 point above the district but 3 points below the nearby average, ranking seventh. Grade-level results show another contrast: third grade ranked second locally in both ELA and math, while fourth- and fifth-grade math ranked eighth and ninth, respectively. Fifth-grade science was also below the district rate.

Over three years, ELA proficiency rose 8 percentage points and math rose 5, while science fell 3; the state improved faster, narrowing Leawood’s lead by 5 points in ELA, 4 in math and 10 in science. Science also dropped 10 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, so its longer-term pattern has been uneven. Other measures add context: chronic absenteeism was 6%, below the district’s 12% and the state’s 18%. The student–teacher ratio was 14.7, compared with a nearby average of 13.9. The free/reduced-lunch rate was 7%, the lowest among the 10 nearby schools, whose average was 18%; this describes the school’s context, not the cause of its results.
