Summary:

ZIP code 66085 has seven Blue Valley schools: three elementary, two middle and two high schools. Their 2025–26 proficiency results were above state rates in English language arts (ELA), math and science at every school, though results varied by subject and school. The seven-school averages were 69% in ELA, 68% in math and 62% in science, compared with state rates of 46%, 41% and 38%. The most important takeaway is that the area performs well above state levels overall, but science results vary the most between neighboring schools.

Blue River Elementary stood out in ELA and science, with 76% and 77% proficiency; those results were 8 and 18 points above the other six schools’ averages. Blue Valley West High led math at 79%, 13 points above the other schools’ average. At the lower end, Stilwell Elementary had the lowest ELA result at 65%, while Cedar Hills Elementary had the lowest math result at 62%, and Blue Valley High had the lowest science result at 53%. Even those results were above state rates. Among middle schools, Pleasant Ridge Middle led Blue Valley Middle in all three subjects, with its clearest advantage in seventh-grade math: 78% versus 62%. SchoolDigger ranked both high schools and both middle schools among the state’s top 22 in their categories.

Results over time show progress in some subjects, not across the board. The seven-school math average rose 4 points, from 64% to 68%, while ELA was nearly unchanged at about 69%; Stilwell Elementary was an exception, with ELA falling 10 points. For the five elementary and middle schools with two years of science results, the average rose 3 points, from 62% to 65%, while the state rate fell 3 points. Grade-level results can also change the picture: Blue River Elementary led overall, but its fourth-grade ELA result was below those of its elementary peers. Enrollment ranges from 266 at Stilwell Elementary to 1,534 at Blue Valley West High; student–teacher ratios range from 12.1 to 15.0, with no simple pattern matching these figures to test results.
