Summary:

The 66202 area has four listed schools in the Shawnee Mission Pub School district: Crestview Elementary and Rushton Elementary, which serve PK–6, plus two high schools, Shawnee Mission North High and Project Finish. The clearest takeaway is that the elementary schools are both above the state in all-grades ELA and math, but their science results differ sharply.

Crestview Elementary stands out in math, with 54% proficiency—11 points above Rushton Elementary and 13 points above the state. Rushton Elementary leads in science at 50%, compared with 34% at Crestview Elementary and 38% statewide. Both elementary schools are ahead in ELA: 54% at Crestview Elementary and 53% at Rushton Elementary, versus 46% statewide. Shawnee Mission North High is below the state in all three all-grades subjects, by 5 points in ELA, 6 in math and 8 in science. No test scores are listed for Project Finish.

Recent results are mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Crestview Elementary gained 5 points in ELA and 9 in math, while Rushton Elementary fell 2 points in ELA and 5 in math; science declined at all three tested schools, most at Shawnee Mission North High (10 points). SchoolDigger gives all three schools three stars; its rankings are 165 of 340 for Shawnee Mission North High, 260 of 657 for Crestview Elementary and 299 of 657 for Rushton Elementary. Other context differs too: student–teacher ratios are 12.7 at Crestview Elementary and 14.7 at Rushton Elementary; chronic absenteeism is notably higher at Shawnee Mission North High—38%, versus 18% for the district and state.
