Brookridge Elementary School

What Brookridge Elementary School does

Brookridge Elementary School is a public elementary school located at 9920 Lowell in Overland Park, Kansas, serving more than 500 students in Pre-Kindergarten through sixth grade. Founded in 1967, the school is operated by the Shawnee Mission School District (SMSD), a public school district in Johnson County, Kansas, and serves students residing within a defined geographic attendance zone. Students transition to Indian Woods Middle School and Shawnee Mission South High School upon completing sixth grade. Day-to-day leadership is provided by Principal Laura LaHue, supported by an administrative intern and secretary.

The school's core academic offering is a standards-aligned Pre-K through 6th grade curriculum delivered through the district-wide digital learning initiative, which uses Canvas as the learning management system, iPads as student devices, and Skyward as the student information system. Specialized programs include Gifted Education, English Language Learners (ELL), and Special Education services, staffed by dedicated specialists and aides. Auxiliary programs include half-day Pre-K, full-day Kindergarten, summer programs (e.g., Jump Start to Learning), before/after school care operated by Kansas City YMCA's Y Club, student nutrition services via SchoolCafe, health services, and PTA-led family engagement. The school's technology stack is composed entirely of third-party SaaS tools (Canvas, Skyward, SchoolCafe, Peachjar, Sprigeo, Destiny by Follett, Finalsite, SignUpGenius, Google Translate) with no proprietary technology assets.

Brookridge Elementary is a government state entity financed through public tax appropriations rather than commercial revenue, and no pricing, fees, or per-pupil budget allocation is publicly disclosed for the school itself. Governance is provided by the SMSD Board of Education, with safety services delivered by the SMSD Police Department (formed in 1972) and partnerships with multiple local law enforcement agencies. The school operates during standard hours (8:10 a.m. to 3:10 p.m. for elementary grades) and conducts community engagement through the PTA, the Shawnee Mission Education Foundation, and district-level social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
