Best Public Schools in Raytown, MO

The district as a whole is ranked 336 out of 386 in the state of Missouri and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Among the schools in the district, a few stand out in terms of performance. Robinson Elementary ranks the highest among Raytown schools, performing significantly better than the district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in math and English language arts. Laurel Hills Elementary and Blue Ridge Elementary also perform relatively well, with above-average proficiency rates in various subjects. However, the district's high schools, Raytown Senior High and Raytown South Senior High, have below-average graduation rates and higher-than-average dropout rates.

The data reveals significant challenges facing the Raytown C-2 school district, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, low proficiency rates on state assessments, and potential resource inequities among the schools. Addressing these issues, particularly the achievement gaps and attendance concerns, should be top priorities for the district to improve educational outcomes for all students.
