Summary:
The 64108 zip code of Kansas City, Missouri is home to a single middle school, Guadalupe Centers Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 354 students. The school is part of the Guadalupe Centers Schools district, which is ranked 335 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Guadalupe Centers Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Missouri middle schools over the past 3 school years, with rankings ranging from 341 out of 438 schools to 427 out of 451 schools. The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas tested, with only 30.6% of 8th graders proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 32.7%. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.1% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is likely a contributing factor to the academic challenges.
Despite the relatively small class sizes and high per-student spending of $17,009 for the 2021-2022 school year, Guadalupe Centers Middle is struggling to meet the needs of its students, who come from a high-poverty background with 99.15% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial for improving student outcomes at this school.
