Summary
Hazel Grove Elementary in Kansas City, Kansas, serves kindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls 537 students, the largest enrollment among the 11 nearby schools compared. In 2024–25, 87% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, compared with an 83% average at nearby schools. In 2025–26, Hazel Grove’s proficiency was 33% in English language arts (ELA), 21% in math and 16% in science. The central takeaway is that it performed above the Kansas City district in all three subjects, but below the state in all three.
ELA is Hazel Grove’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, while science is its weakest. It ranked third of 11 in ELA, fifth in math and sixth in science. ELA proficiency was 8 percentage points above the nearby-school average, 10 points above the district and 13 points below the state. Math was 3 points above the nearby average and 5 above the district, but 20 below the state. Science was 1 point below the nearby average, just 1 above the district and 22 below the state. These comparisons make science the clearest area of concern.
ELA proficiency rose 11 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, reaching 33%, but math has fallen 5 points from its 2023–24 peak, and science has dropped 10 points from its peak that year. The state gap widened over the period in all three subjects, by 2 points in ELA, 7 in math and 9 in science. SchoolDigger gives Hazel Grove a 10th-percentile statewide ranking and 1 star for 2025–26, although its percentile is tied for third-highest among the 11 nearby schools. Its student-teacher ratio is 15.8, above the nearby average of 13.9. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves English Language Learner students is notably higher than its overall ranking: the group is at the 58th percentile versus 10th overall, though down from the 82nd percentile in 2023–24. Its ranking for African American students is at the 44th percentile, down from 62nd. These subgroup percentiles are school rankings, not individual student scores.
