Summary

Ingels Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With consistently low rankings in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools over the past several years, Ingels Elementary has faced significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, poor academic performance, and a high-poverty student population.

Ingels Elementary's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 36.7% to 46.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools in the Hickman Mills C-1 School District. Academically, only 14.7% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to 38.2% statewide and 20.2% in the Hickman Mills district. The school's performance is particularly low for African American and low-socioeconomic status students.

While Ingels Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $12,718 to $14,645 per year, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. In comparison, Longview Farm Elementary, a school in the Lee's Summit R-VII district, stands out as a high-performing school with much higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Addressing the underlying issues at Ingels Elementary and the broader Hickman Mills district will require a comprehensive approach to support the complex social and educational needs of the community.
