Summary:
The 64081 zip code area of Lee's Summit, Missouri is home to 5 schools - 3 elementary schools and 2 middle schools - all part of the Lee's Summit R-VII school district. While the top-performing schools like Longview Farm Elementary and East Trails Middle School consistently rank among the best in the state, there are significant performance gaps compared to the district and state averages, particularly at schools with higher rates of students from low-income families.
Longview Farm Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking between 94-125 out of 900 elementary schools statewide over the past 3 years. It has particularly strong math performance, with 79.1% of 3rd graders and 62.6% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better on the MAP assessment. East Trails Middle School also performs well, ranking between 64-81 out of 438-459 Missouri middle schools.
However, the data reveals concerning equity issues, as schools with higher rates of students from low-income families, such as Pleasant Lea Elementary and Pleasant Lea Middle, tend to have lower test scores and rankings compared to their peers. This suggests the need for the Lee's Summit R-VII school district to address these equity concerns and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
