Summary:

ZIP code 66205 has three elementary schools in the Shawnee Mission Pub School district, all serving pre-K through grade 6, with enrollments of 321 to 350 students. In 2025–26, each school’s all-grades proficiency was above state results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but scores varied substantially from school to school. The biggest difference is in science: proficiency ranges from 45% at Roesland Elementary to 90% at Highlands Elementary, a 46-point gap.

Westwood View Elementary leads in ELA and math, with 94% proficient in ELA and 91% in math—about 8 points and 10 points higher, respectively, than Highlands, the next-highest school in those subjects. Highlands leads in science at 90%, 7 points ahead of Westwood View. Roesland is lowest in all three subjects, at 61% in ELA, 56% in math, and 45% in science. Those results are still above state figures, but Roesland is slightly below the district in math and 4 points below it in science; the other two schools exceed district results in every subject.

Recent results show different directions: Roesland fell in all three subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26 (about 6 points in ELA, 5 in math, and 8 in science), while Highlands improved in all three (about 1, 1, and 3 points). Westwood View gained about 3 points in ELA and 5 in math but lost 5 in science. SchoolDigger ranked Westwood View 2nd, 1st, and 1st across the three years shown, and Highlands 12th, 3rd, and 5th; Roesland’s rank shifted from 61st to 165th. Other measures offer context, not explanations: student-teacher ratios range from 12.9 at Highlands to 15.5 at Westwood View, and reported free/reduced-lunch rates range from 7% at Westwood View to 45% at Roesland.
