Schools in Zip Code 66024

Zip code 66024 has two elementary schools in the Riverside district, serving prekindergarten through grade 5: Riverside Primary School serves pre-K–2 and Riverside Intermediate serves grades 3–5. They enroll 168 and 142 students, respectively. Only Intermediate has supplied test scores, so the data cannot establish which school is academically stronger. The clearest academic finding is that Intermediate’s 2025–2026 results were above Kansas in all three reported subjects.

Riverside Intermediate stands out positively overall: about 50% of students were proficient in ELA, 42% in math and 46% in science, compared with state rates of 46%, 41% and 38%. Its strongest grade-level result was fourth-grade ELA, 11 points above the state; fifth-grade ELA was 12 points below, and fourth-grade math was 9 points below. Riverside Primary stands out less favorably on attendance: chronic absenteeism was 24%, versus 15% at Intermediate, 19% districtwide and 18% statewide. Intermediate’s rate was below both comparison rates.

Intermediate’s science results improved sharply, from 24% in 2024–2025 to 46% in 2025–2026, while the state rate fell from 41% to 38%; its position relative to the state shifted from 17 points below to 8 points above. Its simple average across the three subjects moved from 3 points below the state to 4 points above, though its ELA and math leads narrowed. SchoolDigger ranks Intermediate 358th of 657 schools, in the 46th percentile, with two stars; that is a modest rebound from 374th and the 43rd percentile the prior year, after a higher ranking of 244th and the 63rd percentile in 2023–2024. The shared district’s SchoolDigger rating is 200th of 268, in the 25th percentile, with one star. Intermediate’s student-teacher ratio is 12.4 versus Primary’s 10.6; free/reduced-lunch rates were 59% and 54%, respectively—useful context, but not evidence explaining test results.
