Lowell Brune Elementary School

Summary:

Lowell Brune Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Kansas, serving 491 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently underperforms compared to the Kansas City and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, with only 19.67% and 13.49% of students meeting or exceeding standards, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year.

Lowell Brune Elementary has particularly low performance for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of Kansas elementary schools for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in ELA and Mathematics. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.53% to 76.78% over the past three school years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 15.7 over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby Hazel Grove Elementary and Stony Point North schools.

When comparing Lowell Brune Elementary to the nearby schools in the same Kansas City district, it consistently underperforms in academic proficiency. For example, Hazel Grove Elementary and Stony Point North, both within a 3-mile radius, have significantly higher ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates than Lowell Brune. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the higher student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to Lowell Brune Elementary's underperformance, and addressing these issues could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the 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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
