Summary:
Zip code 66040 has three schools in the Prairie View district, serving 674 students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Lacygne Elementary (PK–5), Prairie View Middle (6–8), and Prairie View High (9–12). In 2025–2026, the schools’ average science proficiency was 3 percentage points above the state, while their average ELA result was 2 points below it. The most important takeaway is that strengths differ by subject rather than one school leading across the board.

Prairie View High narrowly led math at 43%, just ahead of Prairie View Middle at 43%; both were above the state’s 41%.

Student-teacher ratios range from 9.9 at High to 12.1 at Middle; reported free/reduced-lunch rates range from 45% at High to 51% at Elementary. These are observations, not explanations of test results; schools serve different grades, and same-grade results can vary within a school.
