Summary:
ZIP code 66219 has three elementary schools—Christa McAuliffe Elementary, Sunflower Elementary, and Lenexa Hills Elementary—all serving prekindergarten through grade 6. In 2025–26, each school’s all-grades proficiency rate was above the state rate in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The biggest common strength is science: the schools averaged 71% proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a 33-point advantage.
Christa McAuliffe leads the latest all-grades results in all three subjects, with 67% proficient in ELA, 67% in math, and 81% in science. Its science score is 7 points above Sunflower, the next-highest school; its leads over Sunflower are 4 points in ELA and 9 in math. Lenexa Hills is lowest in all-grades math and science, at 53% and 60%, respectively—15 and 22 points below Christa. ELA results are closer together, spanning just 5 points across the schools. Grade-level results offer a notable exception: Lenexa leads fourth-grade ELA at 71%, compared with 65% at Sunflower and 50% at Christa.

Sunflower had the broadest gains, rising 8 points in ELA, 10 in math, and 13 in science; Lenexa’s math fell 4 points and science was nearly unchanged, while Christa’s science rose 14 points.
