Noble Prentis Elementary

Summary:

Noble Prentis Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Kansas, serving 216 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Kansas City school district, which is ranked 257 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Noble Prentis Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Kansas elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with low rankings for Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students. However, the school's performance for students with special education needs is slightly better, ranking in the middle 50% of Kansas elementary schools. Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the nearby Frank Rushton Elementary and New Stanley Elementary also perform poorly, some schools in the Shawnee Mission Public School district, such as Rushton Elementary and Westwood View Elementary, significantly outperform Noble Prentis and the Kansas City district schools. While Noble Prentis faces substantial challenges, the school's support for students with special education needs and its relatively high per-student spending suggest that with the right interventions and strategies, the school could potentially improve outcomes for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
