Summary:
ZIP code 66224 has three schools serving kindergarten through grade 8: Sunrise Point Elementary and Prairie Star Elementary serve K–5, and Prairie Star Middle serves grades 6–8. They are all part of Blue Valley, which SchoolDigger ranks 4th of 268 districts, at the 99th percentile with five stars; the schools rank in the 94th–99th percentiles. All three schools’ 2025–26 averages are well above state results: about 73% in ELA versus 46% statewide, 73% in math versus 41%, and 70% in science versus 38%. The clearest concern for families comparing schools is science: results range from 62% to 75%, a 13-point spread.
Each school stands out in a different subject: Sunrise Point Elementary leads schoolwide ELA at 74%, while Prairie Star Middle leads math and science at 75% in each. Prairie Star Middle’s science result is 13 points above Prairie Star Elementary, which has the lowest schoolwide science result, 62%. The elementary schools trade leads by grade: Sunrise Point is ahead in third-grade ELA and math by 6 and 2 points, respectively, and in fifth grade by 3 and 1 point. Prairie Star Elementary leads fourth grade by 9 points in ELA and 5 in math. These schoolwide comparisons include different grade spans, so the grade-by-grade elementary comparisons offer a closer match.
Recent results are mixed rather than uniformly rising or falling: the three-school mean fell 3 points in ELA and 2 in science from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math rose 1 point. Science trends differed especially sharply: Prairie Star Middle gained 8 points, while Prairie Star Elementary fell 9 and Sunrise Point fell 5. SchoolDigger rankings remain high, though their paths differ: Sunrise Point rose to the 96th percentile, Prairie Star Middle reached the 99th, and Prairie Star Elementary moved from the 97th to the 94th percentile in the latest year. Student–teacher ratios range from 11.9 at Prairie Star Middle to 13.9 at Sunrise Point; reported free/reduced-lunch rates range from 6% to 9%. These figures describe different school contexts, but do not by themselves explain the differences in results.
