Summary:
The Kansas City 33 school district in Missouri is home to 6 high schools, ranging in size from 531 to 1,066 students. The district serves a mix of traditional public high schools and public magnet schools, with a focus on providing educational opportunities to students in the Kansas City area.
The standout school in this data set is Lincoln College Prep, a magnet school that consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state. With significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages across multiple subjects, Lincoln College Prep is a shining example of academic excellence. In contrast, the other schools in the data set generally perform below the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often in the single digits.
Across the district, the high schools face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism (around 55% at all schools) and 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating extremely high levels of economic disadvantage in the student population. Addressing these systemic issues, such as attendance and resource constraints, will be crucial for improving outcomes across the Kansas City 33 district.
