Summary:

Schools in zip code 66214 include four schools: three elementary schools serving prekindergarten through grade 6, and one middle school serving grades 7–8; elementary enrollment is similar, at 480–530 students. The most important finding is how sharply results vary among the elementary schools: Oak Park-Carpenter Elementary leads in every subject, while Shawanoe Elementary is lowest in all three.

Oak Park-Carpenter is the clear elementary standout, with 2025–26 results of 67% in ELA, 67% in math, and 71% in science—29, 30, and 36 percentage points ahead of the next-highest school, Apache Elementary. Apache’s results were 38% in ELA, 37% in math, and 35% in science. Shawanoe scored 25% in ELA, 25% in math, and 18% in science; it trailed Apache by 13, 12, and 17 points, respectively. Westridge Middle was above the state in ELA (47% versus 46%) and science (45% versus 38%), and about level in math (41% versus 41%). SchoolDigger ranked Oak Park-Carpenter 56th of 657 schools (91st percentile, 5 stars), Shawanoe 596th (9th percentile, 0 stars), Apache 476th (28th percentile, 1 star), and Westridge 124th of 368 (66th percentile, 3 stars).

Results rose in math and science at all four schools from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while ELA changes were mixed: Westridge gained 8 points, Apache 4, Shawanoe slipped 1, and Oak Park-Carpenter fell 5. Science gains ranged from 3 points at Westridge to 9 at Apache. Similar staffing ratios do not mean similar results: the elementary ratios range from 14.8 to 15.5 students per teacher, yet Oak Park-Carpenter’s results substantially exceed Shawanoe’s. Reported free/reduced-lunch rates also differ—24% at Oak Park-Carpenter, 77% at Apache, and 86% at Shawanoe; these are contextual observations, not explanations for school results.
