Summary:

Zip code 66048 has five schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 8, including three grade 1–4 schools that provide the clearest basis for comparison. Across those three, average proficiency is 35% in English language arts (ELA) and 24% in math, compared with Kansas averages of 46% and 41%. The most important overall finding is that these schools’ average results are below the state in both subjects, with a wider gap in math: 11 percentage points in ELA and 17 in math.

Henry Leavenworth stands out: it leads the comparable schools in every reported grade-and-subject comparison, with all-grades results of 49% in ELA and 37% in math. Its ELA score is 22 points above the average of David Brewer Elementary and Anthony Elementary; its math score is 19 points higher. Anthony is lowest, at 21% in ELA and 16% in math, while Brewer is in between at 35% and 21%. Henry’s lead is not uniform by grade: its 3rd-grade math is 48%, but its 4th-grade math is 27%. SchoolDigger ranks Henry at the 40th statewide percentile, Brewer at the 14th, and Anthony at the 3rd. The other two schools have different grade spans: Earl Lawson Early Education Center has no supplied test scores, and Leavenworth Virtual School serves K–8 and has enrollment of 23.

Recent results show improvement in average math, but not a shared upward trend across schools. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the three-school math average rose 5 points while the state rose 2, narrowing the gap from 20 to 17 points; the ELA average gained 1 point, while the state gained 1, and the gap widened from 10 to 11 points. Henry and Brewer improved in both subjects, while Anthony fell 7 points in ELA and 3 in math. Brewer and Anthony have similar reported free/reduced-lunch rates—76% and 76%—and student-teacher ratios of 13.8 and 13.0, yet Brewer scores 14 points higher in ELA and 5 higher in math; these figures are context, not an explanation. Chronic absenteeism is above the state’s 18% at every listed school, ranging from Henry’s 21% to Earl Lawson’s 38%.
