Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

Are you relocating to the Shawnee Mission School District, Olathe School District or Blue Valley School District? Many buyers new to the area specifically inquire into these areas and some have even narrowed things down to specific elementary schools within a school district before they even get to town. If this is you, you can ask us to send you a link to just the homes for sale within the school areas that most interest you. Whether your search parameters include a high school, middle school or elementary school area, we can save you the time of sifting through the other homes that simply won’t work for you.

Click one of these links if you’re generally looking for Blue Valley School District homes for sale, Shawnee Mission School District homes for sale or Olathe School District homes for sale. Once you do, you can change the price range parameters so you see just the homes that most interest you. If you do need homes specific to an elementary school area, the public side of the search system does not yet allow you to manipulate that data that deeply. We’ve sent a request to have the system changed to allow you to do so and for now you can just email me your specific elementary school boundaries and we’ll send you a link to just the homes that fit your needs!

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!
