Summary:
The 64130 zip code area of Kansas City, Missouri is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving grades ranging from pre-K through 8th grade. These schools are a mix of public charter and traditional public schools, all of which face significant challenges with high poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low academic achievement compared to state averages.
Among the schools in this area, Carver Dual Language School stands out as the top performer, with the highest test scores including 3rd grade math proficiency at 39.9% compared to the Missouri state average of 41.4%. The Genesis School Inc., a public charter school, also shows some brighter spots with relatively stronger middle school math and ELA proficiency rates. In contrast, the charter schools in this area, such as Hogan Preparatory Academy Elementary, appear to be struggling, with very low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Interestingly, the data reveals that higher per-student spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. For example, George Melcher Elementary has the highest per-student spending at $19,923 but some of the lowest test scores in the area. Overall, the schools in the 64130 zip code face significant challenges, but Carver Dual Language School and Genesis School Inc. show some promising results in certain grade levels and subject areas.
