Summary

Winnwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 251 students in grades PK-5. While part of the North Kansas City 74 school district, which is ranked 104 out of 367 districts in the state, Winnwood Elementary has consistently performed below average compared to other Missouri elementary schools.

Winnwood Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.5% to 29.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than state and district averages. Student test scores in both Mathematics and English Language Arts are also well below the state and district levels across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 9% of 3rd graders at Winnwood were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 47.2% in the district and 41.4% statewide.
