Summary

Ravenwood Elementary is a public elementary school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 330 students in grades K-5. 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 the North Kansas City 74 district is generally high-performing, Ravenwood Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of 131 out of 1,058 Missouri elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a ranking of 465 out of 900 in 2024-2025. The school has struggled with the performance of its Hispanic and low socioeconomic status (SES) student groups, and it has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 22.9% over the past few years. Ravenwood's test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally lower than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Ravenwood Elementary's performance is lower than that of nearby schools in the North Kansas City 74 district, such as Chapel Hill Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top Missouri elementary schools, and Maplewood Elementary, which also outperforms Ravenwood. Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Ravenwood's academic performance suggests that these factors alone may not be sufficient to drive student success. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.31% to 55.17%, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism.

I highly recommend Ravenwood. The principal, Dr. Amy Casey, is amazing women. It must be stressful to be the principle, but she doesn’t show it. She tries to remember each child’s name and shows each child respect. ”

The school has done well with the stress of Covid. Even with the children’s learning being spilt between traditional and online, I believe everyone at Ravenwood, instructors and even down to the custodian department, have done a fantastic job to include each child in every aspect of learning and each staff member have nurtured each child.

My child goes to the Adventure Club program and my child loves the instructors. Just because it says our school is rank 535th doesn’t mean the school is bad and it sure shouldn’t be ranked so low.

This school is amazing. The diversity is lacking, but that seems to be common if you go north of the river in the Kansas City MO metro. Our family is multiracial, from first-hand experience/knowledge that has NEVER been an issue. Close Quote
