Overland Park Elementary

Summary:

Overland Park Elementary is a public elementary school serving 401 students in grades PK-6 in Overland Park, Kansas, which is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District. While the district is ranked 46 out of 266 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Overland Park Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic proficiency, with only 35.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27.26% in Math.

The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 243 out of 667 Kansas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 426 out of 653 in 2023-2024. Overland Park Elementary has struggled to support the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, particularly Hispanic and low socioeconomic status (SES) students. In contrast, male students at the school performed better, ranking 158 out of 586 Kansas elementary schools in ELA in 2018-2019.

Compared to nearby schools like Santa Fe Trail Elementary and Briarwood Elementary, Overland Park Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.48% to 56.11% over the past three school years. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students appears to be a significant factor in the school's underperformance, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the unique needs of these student populations.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
