Eugene Ware Elementary

Summary:

Eugene Ware Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Kansas, serving 246 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

Eugene Ware Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Eugene Ware Elementary schools in Kansas, with low performance on state assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 11.39% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 33.55% statewide and 14.33% in the Kansas City district. The school serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (92.28% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and has a significant population of African American and Hispanic students, as well as a relatively high percentage of English Language Learners.

While Eugene Ware Elementary faces significant challenges, the school's relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending suggest that it has access to resources that could potentially be leveraged to improve student outcomes. Nearby schools in the Kansas City district, such as Welborn Elementary, Chelsea Elementary, and Mark Twain Elementary, also perform poorly, but some nearby schools, like Hazel Grove Elementary and West Park Elementary, demonstrate higher academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just demographics may be contributing to the low performance at Eugene Ware Elementary.

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.
