Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 67801 include 11 schools serving 7,268 students, from elementary through high school, in a district where results vary considerably from school to school. In 2025–26, the unweighted school averages were 27% in ELA, 22% in math, and 25% in science, compared with state results of 46%, 41%, and 38%. The most important finding is that most schools were below state proficiency levels, with only a few schools standing out above the state in particular subjects.

Miller Elementary led the all-grades results in ELA and math, at 47% and 44%, slightly above the state in both. Linn Elementary and Beeson Elementary were the science standouts: 46% and 45%, respectively, compared with 38% statewide. At the other end, Northwest Elementary had the lowest ELA and science results, at 21% and 14%; Central Elementary had the lowest math result, at 12%. Grade-level comparisons add detail: Miller led fourth-grade math at 62%, 17 points above the state, while no elementary school reached the state’s fifth-grade ELA result.

Recent results moved in different directions. The average ELA and math results rose from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but the state improved more in math, and the ELA gap widened slightly. Northwest had the sharpest declines, falling 11 points in ELA, 8 in math, and 25 in science; Miller gained 8 points in ELA and 9 in math. SchoolDigger’s rankings also diverged: Miller rose from the 23rd to the 42nd percentile, while Northwest fell from the 15th to the 4th. Staffing and income measures are context, not explanations: Miller led ELA and math with a student-teacher ratio of 26.2, while Linn had the highest elementary ratio, 28.5, and led science; free/reduced-lunch rates ranged from 68% at Ross to 96% at Sunnyside.
