Turner-Kansas City

Summary:

The Turner-Kansas City school district in Kansas consists of 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 239 out of 266 in Kansas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in academic performance.

However, the data reveals that a few schools stand out within the district. Junction Elementary significantly outperforms the district and state averages across multiple metrics, with proficiency rates of 39.99% in Math, 24.77% in English Language Arts, and 31.81% in Science. Additionally, Midland Trail and Oak Grove Elementary also demonstrate proficiency rates above the district average in both Math and English Language Arts.

The district as a whole faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts, and Science falling well below state averages. This is coupled with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.39% at Junction Elementary to 81.98% at Midland Trail. The data suggests that the district's economic challenges may be a contributing factor to the overall low academic performance, and that targeted investments and strategies may be needed to improve outcomes for students in the Turner-Kansas City school district.
