Stanley Elementary

Summary:

Stanley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Overland Park, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 628. It is part of the highly-ranked Blue Valley School District, which is ranked 2nd out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stanley Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 25% of Kansas elementary schools over the past several years. In the 2023-2024 school year, it ranked 129th out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students consistently outperform the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grades. However, Stanley's performance is slightly lower than the Blue Valley district average, and its 5th-grade students have shown some variability in their performance over the past few years.

Interestingly, Stanley Elementary has a strong performance among its male students, ranking in the top 25% of Kansas elementary schools for this subgroup. The school's performance for multi-racial students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is particularly strong, ranking in the top 10% and top 25% of Kansas elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for white students and students with special education needs has been more variable. Additionally, Stanley Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to other schools in the Blue Valley district, which may be a factor in its slightly lower academic performance compared to the top-performing schools in the area, such as Harmony Elementary, Timber Creek Elementary, and Lakewood Elementary.

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.
