Kc International-Wallace

Summary:

Kc International-Wallace is a public charter elementary school serving 665 students in grades PK-8 in Kansas City, Missouri, which is part of the Kansas City 33 school district. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (53.08%) and Hispanic (26.47%), and an extremely high percentage (over 99%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,052 in 2021-2022) compared to nearby schools, Kc International-Wallace consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages, such as Fairmount Elementary and Korte Elementary, which, while still struggling academically, generally perform better than Kc International-Wallace.

The persistent low performance of Kc International-Wallace, despite its higher spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.3, highlights the significant challenges the school faces in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly African American and Hispanic student population from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Targeted interventions and support from the Kansas City 33 district and the community may be necessary to address the underlying factors contributing to the educational inequities observed at Kc International-Wallace.

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.

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.
