Summary:

Lincoln College Academy Middle is a public middle school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 574 students in grades 6-8. This school stands out within the Kansas City 33 school district, which is ranked 338 out of 386 districts in the state.

Lincoln College Academy Middle consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in MAP/Mathematics for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades were 56.1%, 51.3%, and 48.1%, respectively, compared to the district's 20.8%, 20.2%, and 17.8%, and the state's 44.4%, 40.6%, and 35.7%. The school also excels in serving specific student subgroups, ranking among the top Missouri middle schools for African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. While the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 47.0% to 55.0% in recent years, these rates are still lower than the district's average of 55.0% for the 2023-2024 school year.

When compared to nearby middle schools in the Kansas City 33 district, Lincoln College Academy Middle significantly outperforms them in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, the proficiency rates in MAP/Mathematics for 7th and 8th grades at Central Middle School and Northeast Middle School were below 10%, while Lincoln College Academy Middle's rates were over 50%. However, the school's Gifted and Talented program appears to be an area of concern, as it has consistently ranked among the lowest in the state for this subgroup.

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.
