Summary:
ZIP code 66007 has six schools in the Basehor-Linwood area: three elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and a K–12 virtual school. Across all six, average proficiency was 62% in ELA, 55% in math, and 55% in science, compared with state rates of 46%, 41%, and 38%. Five schools exceeded the state rate in all three subjects, while the virtual school fell below it in ELA and math; the most important takeaway is that results vary substantially, especially in math.
