Kansas City Girls Prep Middle

Summary:

Kansas City Girls Prep Academy is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in Kansas City, Missouri, with a student population of 141 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly African American (66.67%) and Hispanic (20.57%) student body, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Kansas City Girls Prep Academy struggles compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests were significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 8th grade math, only 25.6% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 30%. However, the school performs better in certain student subgroups, with its African American students and English Language Learner students ranking in the top half of Missouri middle schools in their respective subgroups. Conversely, the school's low-income students ranked in the bottom half of Missouri middle schools.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $26,025 in the 2021-2022 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 7 students per teacher in the 2022-2023 school year, these inputs do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes, at least not at the same level as some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Academie Lafayette Armour IMS, a high-performing charter school just a few miles away that had significantly higher proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels.

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.
