The 66219 zip code area in Kansas is home to 3 elementary schools that are part of the highly-ranked Shawnee Mission Public School District. Among these schools, Christa McAuliffe Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state.

Christa McAuliffe Elementary has maintained a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 school years and ranks 44th out of 653 Kansas elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year. Its students significantly outperform the district and state averages on KAP tests across all grade levels, with 64.93% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 45.71% for the district and 33.55% for the state. In contrast, the other two schools in the area, Sunflower Elementary and Lenexa Hills Elementary, lag behind Christa McAuliffe in academic performance.
