Summary:
ZIP code 66215 has three public elementary schools—Mill Creek Elementary, Rosehill Elementary and Rising Star Elementary—and all serve PK–6. In 2025–2026, all three were above state proficiency levels in ELA, math and science, while their results differed noticeably from school to school. The clearest distinction for families comparing them is that Mill Creek led in all three subjects.
Mill Creek was the clear top performer, with 70% proficiency in ELA, 63% in math and 68% in science. Its lead over the next-highest school was 14 percentage points in ELA, 7 in math and 20 in science. Rosehill had the lowest all-grades scores—53% in ELA, 50% in math and 48% in science—while Rising Star was between the other schools in ELA and math and nearly tied with Rosehill in science. Grade-level results offer a useful counterpoint: Rosehill led fifth grade in ELA and math, at 66% and 62%, despite its lower all-grades scores. Mill Creek led in most other reported grade-level comparisons, though its fifth-grade ELA and math results were below the district’s.
Results improved at Rosehill and Rising Star in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; Mill Creek’s ELA fell by 1 percentage point and math by 4, while its science rose by 14. Across the three schools, average scores increased by 3 points in ELA, 6 in math and 10 in science; science was the strongest subject relative to the state, but also showed the widest spread between schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings improved across the three reported entries: Mill Creek moved from 96 to 66, Rosehill from 394 to 261 and Rising Star from 321 to 187. Other reported measures vary too: Mill Creek had the highest student–teacher ratio at 16.5 and the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate at 20%, compared with ratios of 15.5 and 14.4 and rates of 57% and 51% at Rosehill and Rising Star, respectively. These are useful points of context, not explanations for the score differences.
