Hands On The Heartland
Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market
Kansas City has many award winning school districts and one of those is the Blue Valley School District serving southern Johnson County Kansas. The first questions many relocating buyers ask is what school districts serve the southern Overland Park and southern Leawood KS areas. Even before arriving, some buyers have already honed in on the Blue Valley School District. In geographic terms, the Blue Valley School District covers the area in Johnson County south of I-435 highway and from State Line Road going west to roughly Pflumm Road. Much of southern Overland Park Kansas, southern Leawood Kansas and eastern Olathe Kansas are served by the Blue Valley School District.

On the 2007-2008 yearly Kansas Assessment Tests, 96% of Blue Valley students were proficient in reading and 95% were proficient in mathematics. Every single school within the district received the Standard of Excellence accommodation in both the reading and math categories. In 2008, the Blue Valley School District achieved the highest ACT scores in the Kansas City area – and scored a district historical best as well. If you’re considering moving into the Blue Valley School District, be sure to check out the Kansas State Department of Education’s 2007-2008 report card on the Blue Valley School District.
Many of the glowing reports I’ve heard about the schools – and seen first hand while visiting some of the schools – are that the district consistently sets the bar high, there are many excellent teachers and principals throughout the district, the curriculum is challenging to the students, the school facilities are top notch and there’s a unique community involvement with the schools. There’s so many important things to consider when it comes to choosing a school for your child, so be sure to visit in person the local schools that interest you. You can find more information about the specific schools by visiting the Blue Valley School District web site and also be sure to check out the Blue Valley School District’s awards page too!
