Summary:
Kc International Academy is a public charter school district in Missouri that operates a single elementary school, Kc International-Wallace, serving grades PK-8 with 665 students. The data suggests this school is consistently underperforming, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools over the past 3 years with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Kc International-Wallace has a chronic absenteeism rate of 43.2%, which is very high compared to state averages. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 10.9% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 40.8%. Despite 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and the school spending $17,052 per student, which is higher than the state average, the academic outcomes remain poor.
The school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.3 to 1 is lower than the state average, yet the academic performance is still significantly below state benchmarks. This suggests that factors beyond just class size, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's struggles. Addressing the root causes of the school's poor performance will be crucial to improving outcomes for these students.
