Summary:
ZIP code 66409 has one elementary school, Berryton Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 and enrolling 560 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades results were above Kansas in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science, but the advantage was strongest in science and math; the clearest takeaway is that Berryton stands out most in those two subjects, while its ELA edge is small.
There is no other school in the ZIP code to rank above or below Berryton. Compared with Kansas, the school scored 13 points higher in science (52% versus 38%) and 10 points higher in math (51% versus 41%), but just 1 point higher in ELA (47% versus 46%). Grade-level math results were uneven: Berryton was 2 points below the state in grade 3, then 14 points above in grade 4, 7 above in grade 5, and 13 above in grade 6. ELA was mixed, too, with results 3 points below the state in grade 3, 1 above in grade 4, 4 below in grade 5, and about even in grade 6. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and places it at 279th of 657 Kansas schools, in the 58th percentile.
Berryton’s advantage over Kansas narrowed overall from 2024–25, mainly because its ELA lead shrank from 6 points to 1; its math lead narrowed by about 1 point, while its science lead grew by about 2. SchoolDigger’s ranking also moved down over the three years shown, from 216th of 653 schools and the 67th percentile in 2023–24 to its current position, though it remains above the midpoint. Chronic absenteeism was 17%, below both Shawnee Heights at 20% and Kansas at 18%. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 14.8 and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 34% in 2024–25; these figures offer context, but no local comparison is available.
