Summary

Cedar Hills Elementary in Overland Park, Kansas, is a K–5 school in the Blue Valley district serving 587 students. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were above Kansas averages in English language arts (ELA), mathematics and science, but that broad picture hides an important grade-level concern. The clearest weakness is fourth grade, where 59% were proficient in ELA and 50% in math, respectively 13 and 20 percentage points below the district’s fourth-grade results.

Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to the district, while ELA and math trail both the district and most nearby schools. Cedar Hills scored 67% in ELA, 62% in math and 67% in science, compared with state averages of 46%, 41% and 38%. Against the district, Cedar Hills was 3 points lower in ELA and 7 lower in math, but 5 points higher in science. The nearby-school averages were 74% in ELA, 69% in math and 70% in science. Among the 11 schools, Cedar Hills ranked second-lowest in ELA, third-lowest in math and eighth in science, making science comparatively stronger even though it was still below the local average.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 2 percentage points and science rose 10, while math fell 5. Science also fluctuated, from 57% to 70%, down to 58%, then up to 67%. SchoolDigger ranked Cedar Hills 79th of 657 Kansas schools, at the 88th percentile with 4 stars; only one nearby school had a lower percentile. Attendance is a relative strength: chronic absenteeism was 9%, below the district’s 12% and the state’s 18%. The student–teacher ratio was 14.6, compared with a nearby average of 13.9, and the free/reduced-lunch rate was 11%, versus a nearby average of 10%; these are context, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Asian students was at the 60th percentile, compared with 88th overall. For Special Education Students, it fell from the 89th percentile in 2023–2024 to 63rd in 2025–2026, while the school overall was at the 88th percentile in the latest year.
