Summary:

The North Kansas City 74 school district serves 33 schools, including 23 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district is ranked 104 out of 367 school districts in Missouri and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional performance. Staley High School is ranked 55th out of 367 high schools in Missouri, with a 97.3% 4-year graduation rate and strong test scores that exceed the district and state averages. At the elementary level, Rising Hill Elementary is ranked 54th out of 900 elementary schools in Missouri, with exceptional test scores, while Chapel Hill Elementary and Nashua Elementary are both ranked in the top 67 and 43 respectively, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. While some schools excel, others struggle, with a wide range in test scores and graduation rates. There appears to be a correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population and academic performance, with schools serving higher-poverty communities tending to have lower test scores. The district also faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which may be contributing to the performance gaps. By addressing these areas, the North Kansas City 74 district can work to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
