Summary

Cottonwood Point Elementary is a K–5 school serving 352 students in Overland Park, in the Blue Valley area. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were well above Kansas averages, but below the district in English language arts (ELA) and math. The most important takeaway is that strong results compared with the state coexist with a clear local weakness: Cottonwood ranked eighth in ELA among itself and ten nearby schools.

Science is Cottonwood’s strongest subject in local comparisons, while ELA is its weakest. Its all-grades proficiency was 65% in science, compared with 61% across nearby schools and 62% in the district; Cottonwood ranked third locally. In math, it scored 67%, just above the nearby average of 65% but 2 points below the district, placing fifth locally. ELA proficiency was 68%, below the nearby average of 72% and the district’s 70%, though 22 points above the state. Fourth-grade math stands out: Cottonwood’s 73% was 4 points above the district and second-highest among the eleven schools with grade-level data.

Scores have declined since 2022–23: ELA fell 8 points, math 11 and science 12, including a 16-point science drop in the latest year. Even so, Cottonwood remains a five-star school, ranked 64th of 657 Kansas schools by SchoolDigger, at the 90th percentile; that standing is down from the 98th percentile in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for special education students is at the 75th percentile, 15 points below the school’s overall percentile; its ranking for male students is at the 80th percentile, down from 96 in 2020–21. The student–teacher ratio was 12.2, lower than at every nearby school, but chronic absenteeism was 15%, the highest nearby and above the district’s 12%. These figures offer context, not evidence that one measure explains another.
