Summary

Blue Valley Southwest High School is a grades 9–12 school in Overland Park, Kansas, serving 1,057 students in the suburban Kansas City area. Its academic results are stronger than Kansas averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest strength is math: 76% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 41% statewide and 69% in the Blue Valley district, placing the school second among eight comparable nearby high schools.

Compared with nearby schools, the school stands out most in math and science, but ELA is a relative weakness. Its math result was just below Blue Valley West High at 79%, and above the other nearby Blue Valley high schools, whose average was 74%. In science, 56% were proficient—18 points above the state rate and 6 points below the district rate. That was the second-highest result among the eight nearby schools, behind West at 59%. ELA proficiency was 62%: 16 points above the state, but 9 points below the district. It also trailed each nearby Blue Valley peer: Blue Valley Northwest High at 72%, West at 70% and Blue Valley High at 66%.

Math has improved markedly, rising 37 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26; ELA rose 17 points over that span but fell 7 points in the latest year, while science gained 18 points from 2022–23. SchoolDigger ranks the school 4th of 340 Kansas schools, in the 99th percentile with five stars. Its student–teacher ratio of 13.6 was the lowest among the nearby comparison schools. One group result to watch: SchoolDigger placed the school at the 81st percentile for serving Asian students in 2025–26, down from the 90th percentile the year before, compared with the school’s overall 99th percentile.

What people are saying

by a student
Friday, September 16, 2016

Honestly, I don't like this school very much. It seems like most of the people ("white" not trying to be racist here) are really mean/hate other people who aren't white. My brother and I speak Korean and these guys suddenly said stuff like "Why are they speaking another language? This is america. Then the next day they said "Dude there speaking a Chinese language again srsly wtf talk in English" or "Donald trump is gonna send them back so we don't have to worry about them" I hate this school and I am not having a good experience. This school is worst than other schools I've been to. Close Quote
