Summary

Oakwood Manor Elementary is a public elementary school located in Gladstone, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 221. 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.

While Oakwood Manor Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating, its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from the top 30% of Missouri elementary schools to the top 26%. The school has struggled with the performance of its White and Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools for these groups. Additionally, Oakwood Manor has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.5% to 22.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics.

Compared to nearby schools within the North Kansas City 74 district, Oakwood Manor Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of schools like Chapel Hill Elementary and Meadowbrook Elementary, which have higher rankings, test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, Oakwood Manor performs better than some other nearby schools, such as West Englewood Elementary and Crestview Elementary, which have lower rankings and test scores. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, with 58.82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to its challenges, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional obstacles that can impact their educational outcomes.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, August 11, 2011

We love this school! My daughter definitely excelled. From principal, to teachers, to support staff, I didn't meet a one who wasn't great. You could tell that they were there for the right reasons.

The principal, Mrs. Casey, sets a great atmosphere for the school. She is always out in front with a smile, greeting the parents and kids. Her door/phone line is always open, if you have a question or concern. Her positive attitude is infectious.

The reading instruction is set up, where I know exactly what level she is at and I can watch her move up. It's exciting to see her progress.

The behavior challenged kids receive the same happy face as the well behaved children. Plus, I witness actions taken to help the behavior challenged kids become more successful with this endeavor. My daughter is more on the well behaved side, but was helped along with treasure box in the class room and Hoot Tickets for the overall school. Getting to be principal for a while, if you earn enough Hoot Tickets - ingenious. Treasure box items could be bought with enough Hoot Tickets, or having lunch with certain people was also very exciting.

If a parent wants to be involved, they are met with open arms and lots of thank you's.

They even have a garden supervised by Master Gardeners. Each class gets their own plants to grow and harvest. Master Gardeners teach a grade how to can vegetables. They can eat their harvest at lunch. Fresh vegetables at lunch - what an awesome program. My daughter was willing to try things that I'd never heard of because she grew them.

The school pledge of integrity, safety, respect, personal best says it all. My daughter was saying the pledge first week.

WE LOVED THIS SCHOOL! Close Quote
