Summary

Line Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Park Hill School District, which is ranked 84 out of 367 districts in Missouri and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Over the years, Line Creek Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 271 out of 1,058 Missouri elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 622 out of 906 in 2023-2024, with a 2 out of 5 star rating. The school's performance is generally lower than the nearby Thomas B. Chinn Elementary and Southeast Elementary, which have higher statewide rankings and better test scores. However, Line Creek Elementary's performance is better than some of the nearby schools in the North Kansas City 74 School District, such as Crestview Elementary and West Englewood Elementary, which have lower statewide rankings and test scores.

Line Creek Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and lower academic performance compared to its peers. The school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance. Additionally, the school's low-income student population has seen a significant decline in their statewide ranking, suggesting that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of this student group. While the school has seen a steady increase in its per-student spending, the academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, indicating that simply increasing spending may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, March 23, 2015

We moved to Line Creek in Fall 2013, so have had a year and a half in the system after moving from out of state (from a newer, 9/10-graded GreatSchools.org elementary.)

I'd have to say Line Creek leaves that other school in the dust. We loved the previous school and were very involved there as parents (as we are at LC), but didn't know what we were missing.

Line Creek offers diversity, has a great group of teachers who CARE about their students, and a wealth of after-school clubs and activities that no one forces them to do -- the teachers want to do them.

My kids are definitely more well-rounded and have much more of a community mindset, and are better off having attended Line Creek. Close Quote
