Summary:

The Raytown, Missouri school district consists of 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district serves the city of Raytown, which is located just east of Kansas City. While the district faces significant challenges, with overall low academic performance compared to state averages, a few standout schools stand out as bright spots.

Robinson Elementary is the top-performing school in the district, with proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts that are well above the district and state averages. In contrast, Raytown Senior High and Raytown South Senior High both have graduation rates below the state average, and the district as a whole struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools.

The Raytown C-2 school district is ranked 312 out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in Raytown.
