Summary

Carver Dual Language School is an elementary school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 455 students. The school is part of the Kansas City 33 school district, which is ranked 305 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carver Dual Language School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Missouri elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 698-986 out of 900-1,058 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP) is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in Math ranged from 14.4% to 39.9%, compared to the state average of 38.2% to 41.4%. However, the school performs better in certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 50 Missouri elementary schools for Hispanic students and English Language Learners in recent years.

Carver Dual Language School and the surrounding schools in the Kansas City 33 district face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.6% to 55.0% over the past few years, and a very high percentage of students (99.29% to 100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,882 to $18,443 over the past few years, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation and utilization.
