Summary

Kc International-Wallace is an elementary public charter school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 654 students. Despite the school's high per-student spending, it has consistently struggled to provide a quality education to its students.

Kc International-Wallace has consistently low academic performance, with test scores well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th-grade math proficiency rate was just 17.1%, compared to the state average of 32.7%. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 39.1% to 43.6% over the past few years, compared to the nearby schools, which have rates around 30-55%. Additionally, the school's performance for specific student groups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socio-Economic Status students, is also significantly lower than the state averages for those groups.

While the nearby schools, such as Abraham Mallinson Elementary, Korte Elementary, and James Elementary, also serve high-poverty populations, they generally perform better than Kc International-Wallace on key metrics. This suggests that the issues at Kc International-Wallace may be specific to the school or Kc International Academy district, rather than solely a result of the socioeconomic factors. The school's consistently low performance and high spending per student raise questions about the effective use of resources and the need for a more comprehensive approach to improving academic achievement.
