Summary:
Zip code 66520 has one listed school, McCormick Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 5. In 2025–26, its all-grades scores were above Kansas’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest advantage was in math, where McCormick scored 24 percentage points above the state.
McCormick is the only school listed, so there is no local school-to-school leader or trailing school to compare. Against the state, its 2025–26 scores were 67% in ELA, 65% in math and 52% in science, compared with 46%, 41% and 38%, respectively. It was also above the Blue Valley district in ELA and math—by 3 and 8 points—but 15 points below the district in science. Grade results show variation, especially in math: grade 4 scored 76%, compared with 57% in grade 5, while both grades were above the state. Because there is just one school in the list, these figures cannot establish how it compares with other schools in the zip code.
Recent results were mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA rose 8 points to 67%, math was nearly flat, rising 1 point to 65%, and science fell 13 points to 52%. SchoolDigger’s ranking nevertheless improved over three years, from 183rd of 653 schools (72nd percentile) in 2023–24 to 84th of 657 (87th percentile) in 2025–26. The school enrolled 146 students; its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 12.6 and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 22%. Chronic absenteeism was 4.1%, close to the district’s 3.6% and below the state’s 18%. These are useful context about the school, but they do not explain its test results.
