The Ewing Marion Kauffman Middle is the sole middle school located within the Ewing Marion Kauffman School district in Kansas City, Missouri. This public charter school serves grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 510 students.
Ewing Marion Kauffman Middle stands out in several ways. The school spends $16,437 per student, significantly higher than the state average, and has a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, indicating a high level of individual attention for students. The school's 7th and 8th grade students also outperform the state average in math proficiency, with 57% and 61.7% of students scoring proficient or better, respectively. However, the school's 5th grade students perform significantly below the state average in both math and English language arts, suggesting a need for improvement in the lower grade levels.

The chronic absenteeism rate is 33.8%, and 80.98% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. These factors can present unique challenges and opportunities for the school. Overall, Ewing Marion Kauffman Middle appears to be a school with both strengths and areas for improvement, and further analysis of its strategies and practices could provide valuable insights into how to best support student success.
