Summary:
Zip code 66939 has one listed school, Pike Valley Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 6, so families have no other listed local school for a direct comparison. The most important finding is that in 2025–2026 the school’s proficiency was above the state rate in all three subjects: 61% in English language arts (ELA), 60% in math and 67% in science, compared with 46%, 41% and 38% statewide.
Pike Valley Elementary is the only school in the local list, so there is no local top-to-bottom comparison. Its strongest reported grade-level result was fifth-grade math, at 87% proficient versus 45% statewide, a 42-point advantage; fourth-grade ELA had the smallest advantage, at 56% versus 50%, or 5 points. SchoolDigger gives the school four stars and ranks it 126th of 657 Kansas elementary schools, in the 81st percentile. Those figures offer statewide context, not a ranking against other schools in the zip code.
Results improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 4 points, math 7 points and science 12 points. The state rose 1 point in ELA and 2 in math, but fell 3 points in science, so the school’s science advantage widened the most—by 15 points, compared with 3 in ELA and 5 in math. SchoolDigger’s percentile dipped from 77th to 73rd, then rose to 81st over the three listed years. Attendance is another favorable indicator: chronic absenteeism was 6%, below the Pike Valley district’s 8% and the state’s 18%. The school has a 13.2 student–teacher ratio and a 44% free/reduced-lunch rate in the years reported; these are context, not explanations for results.
