Summary

Ac Prep Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Kansas City, Missouri, with 367 students. 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. Ac Prep Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools over the past 10 years.

Ac Prep Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of student achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors. The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 21.7% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 41.4% statewide and 18.9% in the Kansas City 33 district. Ac Prep Elementary also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 36% to 55% over the past few years, much higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, 100% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high-poverty student population.

While nearby schools in the same district, such as Carver Dual Language School and M.L. King Elementary, also perform poorly and have high poverty rates, some nearby charter schools like Academy for Integrated Arts and Brookside Charter Elementary perform better academically, despite serving similarly disadvantaged student populations. This suggests that school model and leadership may play a role in student outcomes, as demonstrated by the high-performing Academie Lafayette Oak Elementary, a public charter school in a different district.
