Summary

Eugene Ware Elementary is a K–5 school in the Kansas City district in Kansas City, Kansas, with 242 students. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were below state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science. Its biggest concern is math: the school had the lowest math proficiency among ten same-district schools with comparable results, and its rate was 32 percentage points below the state.

Compared with nearby schools, science is Eugene Ware’s strongest subject, though results remain low overall: its science rate was 14%, around the local average of 15%, and it ranked fifth of ten schools. ELA proficiency was 21% versus a local average of 25%, placing eighth; math was 9% versus 18%, placing last. The school was also below district averages by 2 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 1 in science. SchoolDigger’s group-specific statewide rankings show notably stronger standing for English Language Learner Students: the school ranked at the 56th percentile in 2025–26, compared with the 2nd percentile overall. For African American Students, it ranked at the 78th percentile in 2023–24, compared with the 11th percentile overall that year; this group’s rankings have varied considerably by year.

Results have not improved steadily: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 5 points, math rose 1 point, and science was roughly flat despite sharp swings. Over that period, the state gap widened in both ELA and math; math also fell 1 point in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranked Eugene Ware at the 2nd statewide percentile (641 of 657 schools, 0 stars), tied for the lowest local standing. Its 12.3 student–teacher ratio was below the nearby average of about 13.9, but its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate of 91% was close to the nearby average of 90%. Chronic absenteeism was 28.1%, higher than nearby schools’ range of 13.9%–27.7% and 10 points above the state rate.
