Summary:
The Raytown C-2 school district in Missouri is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share common challenges, such as high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest performing schools in the district, particularly in math and science.
Two standout schools in the district are Little Blue Elementary and Robinson Elementary, which consistently outperform the district and state averages in academic proficiency. For example, in 2023-2024, 36.3% of 3rd graders at Little Blue Elementary were proficient or better in math, compared to 21.8% for the Raytown C-2 district and 40.8% statewide. Similarly, 49.9% of 4th graders at Robinson Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, well above the district average of 29.3%.
While some schools are performing better than others, the data suggests that the Raytown C-2 district as a whole faces significant challenges, from addressing high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism to ensuring equitable access to high-quality education across all its elementary schools. Targeted interventions and resource allocation may be needed to support the lowest performing schools and students and close the achievement gaps within the district.
