Ingels Elementary

Summary:

Ingels Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 292 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Hickman Mills C-1 School District, which is ranked 357 out of 386 school districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ingels Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 36.7% to 46.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is also well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14% of 3rd-grade students at Ingels Elementary were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 18.9% for the Hickman Mills C-1 district and 40.8% for the state. The school's performance on the MAP tests for specific student subgroups, such as African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is also significantly lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

While Ingels Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending compared to the state average, ranging from $12,718 to $14,645 per student in recent years, this higher spending does not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes. In contrast, Compass Elementary, another school in the Hickman Mills C-1 district, has significantly higher academic performance than Ingels Elementary, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism, as well as the unique needs and challenges faced by specific student subgroups, could be crucial steps in improving overall student achievement at Ingels Elementary.

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.
