Summary

Elementary School is a public charter school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 233 students. The school is part of the Citizens of the World Charter District, which is ranked 318 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.3% to 54.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Academie Lafayette Cherry Elementary (13.3%) and Allen Village Elementary Academy (11.1%). The school's test scores are also consistently low compared to the state and nearby schools, with only 12.9% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Math and English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 41.4% and 41.8%, respectively.

Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 14.6 over the past few years, which could be an asset if the school is able to effectively leverage this resource. However, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.22% to 66.09%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the school's struggles. Comparing Elementary School to nearby charter and public schools, such as Academie Lafayette Cherry Elementary and Allen Village Elementary Academy, highlights the need for substantial improvements to ensure that all students at Elementary School have access to a high-quality education.
