Summary

Union Chapel Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 601 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 has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Union Chapel Elementary has consistently outperformed the district and state in academic achievement, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 5th grade Mathematics, Union Chapel had a 66.3% proficiency rate, compared to 42.5% for the district and 38.2% for the state. The school's strong performance has earned it a ranking in the top 15% of Missouri elementary schools in recent years.

While Union Chapel Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (13.64%), some nearby schools, such as Line Creek Elementary (47.01%) and Thomas B. Chinn Elementary (44.8%), have significantly higher rates. This suggests that there may be equity concerns in the area, as students from low-income families may not have the same access to the educational opportunities available at Union Chapel Elementary. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.5% to 23.2%, indicate that attendance-related issues may need to be addressed.
