Summary:
Zip code 66043 has two schools: Lansing Elementary School, serving PK–3, and Lansing Intermediate School, serving grades 4–5. In 2025–26, both schools were above the state in all-grades English language arts (ELA) and math. Across the two schools, the average was 54% in ELA and 47% in math, compared with state results of 46% and 41%. The clearest area-wide strength is that both schools exceed state results in ELA and math.
Lansing Elementary has the higher all-grades results: 55% in ELA and 49% in math, versus 53% and 46% at Lansing Intermediate—gaps of 2 and 2 percentage points, respectively. Both are above state results, but the grade-level picture has an important exception: fifth-grade science at Intermediate was 40%, compared with 46% statewide, a 6-point shortfall. Intermediate’s all-grades science result was 40%, slightly above the state’s 38%, so fifth-grade families should note the weaker grade-specific result. At Elementary, third-grade ELA and math were above state results by 3 and 6 points. At Intermediate, fourth-grade math was 1 point below the state, while fourth-grade ELA and both fifth-grade ELA and math were above.
ELA results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 at both schools: by 2 points at Elementary and 3 points at Intermediate, compared with a 1-point state increase. Math was less consistent: Elementary fell 2 points and Intermediate rose by 1, while the state gained 2 points, narrowing the schools’ average advantage. Chronic absenteeism also differs: it was 14% at Elementary and 21% at Intermediate, compared with 18% statewide. Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio (16.9 versus 15.3) and free/reduced-lunch rate (44% versus 41%). SchoolDigger’s historical percentile rose from 47 to 55 for Elementary in 2015–16 to 2017–18, while Intermediate’s fell from 59 to 51 in 2023–24 to 2025–26; these rankings cover different periods. Because the schools serve different grades, their all-grades scores are not same-grade comparisons.
