Summary

Maple Park Middle is a public middle school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 602 students. It 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.

Maple Park Middle faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 18.5% to 41.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the North Kansas City 74 district and the state of Missouri averages across all grade levels and years. Additionally, Maple Park Middle has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.42% to 66.78% over the past few years, indicating a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, suggests that the school may have effective strategies in place for supporting these populations.

Compared to other nearby middle schools in the North Kansas City 74 district, such as Antioch Middle and Discovery Middle, Maple Park Middle generally underperforms in terms of test scores and overall school rankings.
