Summary

Maplewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 318 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the North Kansas City 74 school district, which is ranked 104 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maplewood Elementary is a relatively strong-performing school, particularly in its support for low-socioeconomic status (SES) students. The school has consistently ranked in the top 5% of Missouri elementary schools for the performance of its low-SES students, earning a 5-star rating in this category for the past three school years. Additionally, Maplewood has demonstrated strong student achievement in both mathematics and English language arts (ELA), with a significant number of grades and subject areas scoring above the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Maplewood's 4th-grade students scored 69.7% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 49.7% for the district and 43.8% for the state, and 67.9% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 51.3% for the district and 44.8% for the state.

However, Maplewood Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.5% to 25.4% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school's performance has fluctuated considerably over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from a high of 164 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 to a low of 612 out of 1,058 in 2014-2015. While Maplewood's performance is generally stronger than that of its nearby counterparts, such as Davidson Elementary and Winnwood Elementary, it is outperformed by Chapel Hill Elementary, which is located just 2.69 miles away.
