Paseo Acad. Of Performing Arts

Summary:

Paseo Acad. Of Performing Arts is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Kansas City, Missouri, with a student population of 649. The school is part of the Kansas City 33 school district, which is ranked 335 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paseo Acad. Of Performing Arts consistently ranks in the bottom tier of Central High School and Southeast High School, which also serve high-poverty student populations. The school's academic performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages, and it struggles to support its subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students. With over 99% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Paseo Acad. Of Performing Arts has an extremely high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a potential asset, Paseo Acad. Of Performing Arts spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $18,143 to $19,741 per year. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and utilization, as the high spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes for its students. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to better serve the Kansas City community.

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.
