Summary:
The 64132 zip code area of Kansas City, Missouri is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While a few schools, such as AC Prep Elementary and Holliday Montessori, show relatively stronger performance compared to district and state averages, the overall academic achievement in this area is concerning, with most schools performing well below state standards.
The data reveals consistently low test scores across the schools, with proficiency rates often in the single digits. Graduation rates at Southeast High School are 86.5%, while dropout rates are 3.6%. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue, with rates ranging from 36.7% to 73.4% at the elementary and middle schools. Funding levels vary, with spending per student ranging from $13,901 at Center Elementary to $21,051 at Holliday Montessori.
The high poverty levels in the community, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Addressing the root causes of low performance, such as attendance issues and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving outcomes for students in this area. While the mix of school types, including a magnet school and a charter school, suggests the community is trying different approaches, the data does not indicate that any one model is significantly outperforming the others.
