Summary

Gracemor Elementary is a public elementary school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 655 students. The school is part of the North Kansas City 74 school district, which is ranked 104 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gracemor Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. The school's student performance on standardized tests is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20% of 3rd graders at Gracemor were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 47.2% for the district and 41.4% for the state. Gracemor also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.5% to 27.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

While Gracemor Elementary performs relatively well in serving its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations, the school struggles with its African American and Special Education student populations, ranking in the bottom 20% and bottom 10% of Missouri elementary schools, respectively. The school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with 60-70% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Nearby schools like Chapel Hill Elementary and Maplewood Elementary have higher rankings and ratings, suggesting they are performing significantly better than Gracemor.

I absolutely Love Gracemor. My son has intellectual disability and is autistic. They offer a fabulous I.E.P (individual education program) that is customized to fit my child's needs and goals. He is striving everyday and looks forward to going to school everyday. Close Quote
