Summary:
KIPP Endeavor Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 in Kansas City, Missouri. The school faces significant challenges, with alarmingly low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is almost entirely from low-income households.
KIPP Endeavor Academy's test scores are far below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 8th grade Math, only 10.8% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the Missouri state average of 30.6%. The school's 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 896 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools further underscores the academic struggles. Addressing the root causes of the school's 66.8% chronic absenteeism rate will be critical to improving student outcomes.
Despite the high-needs student population, with 99.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's spending per student of $17,434 is not exceptionally high. Ensuring adequate funding and resources to meet students' academic and non-academic needs will be an important factor in supporting the KIPP Endeavor Academy community.
