Summary:
The 64086 zip code area of Lee's Summit, Missouri is home to 6 elementary schools that are part of the Lee's Summit R-VII school district. These schools serve students from pre-K through 5th grade and are generally high-performing, with the district ranking 77th out of 367 school districts in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Two schools stand out as particularly strong performers: Mason Elementary and Richardson Elementary. Both schools consistently rank in the top 30% of Missouri elementary schools and have impressive test scores, particularly in math, science, and English language arts. In contrast, Meadow Lane Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals significant differences in student demographics and socioeconomic factors across the schools. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 12.08% at Mason Elementary to 57.79% at Meadow Lane Elementary. This disparity in socioeconomic status may be a contributing factor to the performance gaps observed between the schools. Additionally, all schools in the area have a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate, which is an area of concern for the district.
