Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66204

Summary:

The 66204 zip code area of Overland Park, Kansas is home to 5 elementary schools that are part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District. These schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with Santa Fe Trail Elementary and Tomahawk Elementary consistently outperforming the district and state averages on state assessments, while Overland Park Elementary, Comanche Elementary, and East Antioch Elementary lag behind.

The data reveals a significant socioeconomic divide among the schools, with Comanche Elementary having the highest free and reduced lunch rate at 79% and Santa Fe Trail Elementary having the lowest at 32.91%. This disparity in student demographics appears to be closely linked to the schools' academic performance, as the higher-performing schools tend to have lower rates of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally, the schools with higher per-student spending, such as Santa Fe Trail Elementary, also demonstrate stronger academic outcomes.

While all the schools are part of the same district, the wide range of performance outcomes suggests that school-level factors, such as leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, play a crucial role in student achievement. Understanding and addressing these disparities will be essential in ensuring that all students in the 66204 zip code area have access to high-quality educational opportunities, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
