The most important finding is that every school is below the state result in all three subjects, though performance varies substantially from school to school.

SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Sunflower rose from 11 to 20, while Prairie View’s fell from 16 in 2023–24 to 7 in 2025–26. Sunflower also has the highest elementary student–teacher ratio, 23.2, yet leads local elementary All Grades ELA and math; the figures offer context but do not explain school results.
