Summary:
ZIP code 66112 has three public schools in Kansas City: two elementary schools serving kindergarten through grade 5 and one middle school serving grades 6–8; no high schools are included. In 2025–26, all three schools’ average proficiency results were below state results, with the area closest to the state in ELA and furthest behind in math. The most important finding is that Claude A Huyck Elementary leads the other listed schools in every all-grades subject and in directly comparable elementary grades.
Huyck stands out at the top, with 40% proficiency in ELA, 31% in math, and 37% in science; it leads Stony Point North by 10, 8, and 15 percentage points, respectively. Stony Point North falls between the other schools, at 30% in ELA, 22% in math, and 21% in science. Arrowhead Middle is lowest in each subject, at 25%, 16%, and 3%. The especially wide science spread—34 percentage points from Huyck to Arrowhead—shows how much school-level results vary. Huyck’s science result is about 2 points below the state’s 38%, while Arrowhead’s is 35 points below.
Area averages improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 2 percentage points, math 4, and science 3, while the state’s science result fell 3 points. The gains were not uniform: Stony Point North science rose 7 points, while Arrowhead Middle science fell 3. SchoolDigger’s three-year rankings also moved in different directions: Huyck improved 86 places to 508 of 657 elementary schools, Stony Point North fell 81 places to 591 of 657, and Arrowhead was 3 places lower at 349 of 368 middle schools. The elementary schools have similar enrollment, but Huyck’s student-teacher ratio is higher (15.7 versus 10.8) even as its results are higher; reported free/reduced-lunch rates are 79% at Huyck and 85% at Stony Point North. These figures describe differences, not their causes.
