Summary

Northeast Middle School is a public middle school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 557 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.

Northeast Middle School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Missouri over the past several years, with rankings ranging from 429 out of 438 schools in 2024-2025 to 582 out of 587 schools in 2018-2019. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating very poor performance. Its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6.2% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 20.6% for the Kansas City 33 district and 43.2% for the state of Missouri.

When compared to other middle schools in the same district and nearby areas, Northeast Middle School stands out as one of the lowest-performing schools. For instance, Lincoln College Academy Middle, located just 2.39 miles away, ranked 55th out of 438 Missouri middle schools in 2024-2025 and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's poor performance, Northeast Middle School spends a relatively high amount per student, suggesting that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding, but rather a complex combination of factors, such as student engagement, family support, and transportation issues.
