Boone Elementary

Summary:

Boone Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 272 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Center 58 School District, which is ranked 318 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Boone Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance on standardized tests, and concerning equity issues. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 16.5% to 39.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Center Elementary (36.7%) and Red Bridge Elementary (36.7%). Academically, Boone Elementary's performance is well below the state and district averages, with only 12% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math and English Language Arts, compared to 18.8% and 24.9% in the Center 58 district, and 40.8% and 41.6% statewide.

While Boone Elementary spends around $20,000 per student, significantly more than nearby schools like Center Elementary ($13,901) and Red Bridge Elementary ($16,964), this higher spending does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students of low socioeconomic status, indicating that Boone Elementary may not be effectively serving all of its students.

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.
