Original Research by School Decision on Broadmoor Elementary
Broadmoor Elementary serves third through fifth grade students in the Louisburg school district, a small and growing city in Miami County that sits within the Kansas City metropolitan area. The school is one piece of a four-school district, sitting between Rockville Elementary (PreK through second grade) and Louisburg Middle School (sixth through eighth grade), so the building is a dedicated intermediate school with a focused grade band.
The student body is predominantly white, reflecting the community's demographic composition, and a modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school operates as a traditional public school and is not a charter. The town of Louisburg itself is car-dependent, with a compact downtown and low-density residential neighborhoods. The community has been growing steadily, and the city has encouraged new residential construction, which feeds into the school system. The district passed a bond issue in 2020 that funded building infrastructure improvements and constructed a new high-wind shelter and multi-purpose room, which has affected the physical plant students and families use.
Academic performance on the Kansas Assessment Program, the state's standardized test, places Broadmoor Elementary in a strong position relative to other districts in Miami County. The school's overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades landed in the top quartile when compared with other districts in the county. In math, proficiency levels for each grade were solid, with the fourth grade result showing more room for growth than the third and fifth grades. In English language arts, the same pattern holds: third and fifth graders scored at a similar level, while fourth graders were below that mark. Science, tested only in fifth grade, showed proficiency at a level that a parent may want to follow up on with the school for a fuller sense of the curriculum and instruction in that subject. No multi-year trend data was available, and the state changed test cut scores, so comparisons to prior years are not reliable.
The school's enrollment is concentrated entirely in grades three through five, with a roughly even distribution across those grades. Because Broadmoor Elementary does not serve high school grades, there is no graduation rate to report, which is expected for a school of this grade band. Data on special populations such as students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the record, nor were chronic absenteeism figures. The school's locale classification and Title I status were also not reported in the data provided.
Louisburg, the town surrounding the school, offers a set of civic and recreational amenities that include a city lake with a paved walking trail, a public golf course, an aquatic center, and parks. The Louisburg Cider Mill is a well-known local draw, and the Powell Observatory at Lewis-Young Park provides a unique community asset. Key local employers include the school district itself and city government, and many residents commute via US-69 to the broader Kansas City metro job market. The town does not appear to have a public library within its limits, which may be a consideration for families who rely on that resource.
For a family considering Broadmoor Elementary, the core takeaway is that it is a dedicated upper-elementary school within a district that has invested in facilities, serving a growing suburban-edge community. The academic results in the most recent testing year show strength relative to the county, with math generally stronger than English language arts and science being the subject where a parent might seek more detail. The school sits in a car-dependent town with a small-town feel, and the district structure means students move between three separate buildings as they progress from early elementary through middle school. The available data does not include information on program offerings such as music, art, or enrichment, so families interested in those areas would need to ask the school directly.
