Summary

Blue Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Raytown, Missouri, serving 324 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Raytown C-2 School District, which is ranked 312 out of 367 school districts in the state.

Blue Ridge Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), and a declining statewide ranking, from 580 out of 1,052 Missouri elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 699 out of 900 in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American students, is relatively stronger compared to the overall school performance. Additionally, the presence of two preschool programs, New Trails Early Learning Center and Three Trails Preschool, in close proximity to Blue Ridge Elementary suggests a potential opportunity for early childhood education and intervention to support student readiness and success.

While Blue Ridge Elementary's performance is generally lower than the Raytown C-2 district and state averages, some of the nearby schools, such as Eastwood Hills Elementary and Westridge Elementary, have even lower test scores and rankings. This indicates that Blue Ridge Elementary may be performing better than its immediate neighbors, but still struggling overall. Addressing the underlying issues, such as high chronic absenteeism and the needs of the school's student population, could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Blue Ridge Elementary.
