Northeast High

Summary:

Northeast High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Kansas City 33 School District, with a diverse student population of 657 students that is 40.79% African American, 34.25% Hispanic, 15.07% Asian, and 8.07% White.

Despite having the highest per-student spending among nearby schools at $17,821, Northeast High consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Missouri, with statewide rankings between 341-343 out of 352-361 high schools in recent years. The school's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 8.2% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 19.2% in the Kansas City 33 district and 41.5% statewide. Additionally, Northeast High has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like North Kansas City High (55.24% free/reduced lunch) and Crossroads Preparatory Academy (46.86% free/reduced lunch).

The racial composition of Northeast High is also significantly different from the nearby schools, with a majority-minority student population, while the nearby schools like North Kansas City High and Crossroads Preparatory Academy have more diverse racial representations. Despite the high per-student spending and the school's efforts, Northeast High has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Missouri, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the root causes of the school's underperformance and provide its students with the educational opportunities they deserve.

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.
