Summary

Northeast High is a public high school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 697 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Kansas City 33 School District, which is ranked 305 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northeast High consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Missouri, with its students scoring significantly below state and district averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 6.9% of Northeast High students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 25.1% in the Kansas City 33 district and 45.4% statewide. The school also struggles with low graduation rates, ranging from 68.6% to 86.5% in recent years, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, from 47% to 81.9%.

In contrast to Northeast High, the nearby Lincoln College Preparatory Academy, a public magnet school, is a high-performing school, ranking among the top 5% of Missouri high schools. This highlights the potential impact of school choice and specialized programs on student outcomes. Additionally, the data suggests that the school and district are serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with nearly all (99.5% to 100%) of Northeast High students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which likely contributes to the academic and attendance challenges observed.
