Summary

KIPP Endeavor Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Kansas City, Missouri, with 566 students. The school is part of the KIPP: Endeavor Academy district, which is ranked 364 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Endeavor Academy faces significant challenges, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 49.9% to 66.8% over the past few years, well above the nearby schools. The school's test scores are consistently among the lowest in the state, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade Math proficiency rate is only 3.6% compared to the state average of 41.4%. KIPP Endeavor Academy also ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Missouri elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status student groups, indicating significant achievement gaps.

Interestingly, the other charter schools in the vicinity, such as Guadalupe Centers Elementary, Hope Leadership Academy, and Crossroads - Central Street, generally perform better than KIPP Endeavor Academy on test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The nearby district public schools also struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting that the challenges faced by KIPP Endeavor Academy are not unique and are likely systemic issues within the broader Kansas City education system.
