Summary:
The 64125 zip code in Missouri has only one school, Kc International-Wallace, an elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 with 654 students. The school is part of the Kc International Academy district, which is ranked 348 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Kc International-Wallace has consistently low academic performance, with test scores significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 13.3% compared to the state average of 41.4%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 43.2%, which is much higher than the state average. Despite the high spending per student of $17,052, the school is still underperforming academically, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
The data indicates that Kc International-Wallace serves a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high-poverty environment is likely a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles and high chronic absenteeism rate. To address these challenges, the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve attendance, provide targeted academic support, and address the underlying socioeconomic factors impacting student success.
