Ingels Elementary

Summary:

Ingels Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 292 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Hickman Mills C-1 School District, which is ranked 357 out of 376 school districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ingels Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (61.99%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 55.76% to 66.93%. Academically, Ingels consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Missouri, with statewide rankings between 860 and 1037 out of over 900 schools in recent years. Its academic performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Ingels has an extremely high percentage of students (over 98%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,645 in 2021-2022) than the surrounding schools, which range from $12,891 to $14,057 per student, Ingels' academic outcomes remain significantly below state and district averages.

The persistent low performance and lack of improvement over time at Ingels Elementary suggest that the school is struggling to effectively educate its students. This is concerning, especially given the racial disparities in academic achievement. Nearby schools, such as Truman Elementary and Dobbs Elementary, while also serving economically disadvantaged student populations, generally perform better academically than Ingels. This indicates that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and targeted interventions, may be contributing to the differences in academic outcomes.

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.
