Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66219

Summary:

The 66219 zip code area in Kansas is home to three elementary schools: Christa McAuliffe Elementary, Sunflower Elementary, and Lenexa Hills Elementary. Among these, Christa McAuliffe Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, ranking in the top 10% of Kansas elementary schools and outperforming the Shawnee Mission Public School district and the state of Kansas in test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.

Christa McAuliffe Elementary's success can be attributed to its relatively higher socioeconomic status, with only 17.02% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its efficient resource allocation, as evidenced by the highest student-teacher ratio among the three schools. In contrast, Sunflower Elementary, despite having the highest spending per student, lags behind the other two schools in academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as student demographics and school management, play a significant role in student success.

The racial makeup of the schools also varies, with Christa McAuliffe Elementary having a predominantly White student population, Sunflower Elementary having a more diverse student body, and Lenexa Hills Elementary falling somewhere in between. This could be an area for further investigation to understand the potential impact of student diversity on academic outcomes.
