Summary

Norfleet Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 309 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Raytown C-2 School District, which is ranked 312 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Norfleet Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.6% to 34.7% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Laurel Hills Elementary, Southwood Elementary, and Blue Ridge Elementary. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

While Norfleet Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, from $11,379 in 2018-2019 to $15,734 in 2021-2022, this increased spending does not appear to have translated into improved academic outcomes for the school. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively high for its African American students but very low for its low socioeconomic status and disabled students, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the unique needs of these subgroups.

This is a poor excuse of a school. My guess is that Raytown will lose it's accreditation in a couple years. Close Quote
