Summary:

Greenwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenwood, Missouri, serving 333 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Lee's Summit R-VII School District, which is ranked 43 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Greenwood Elementary stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to the state and district averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, 63.7% of 3rd-grade students at Greenwood Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 53.9% in the Lee's Summit R-VII district and 41.1% statewide. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 11.25% to 17.72% over the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the surrounding Lee's Summit Elementary, Summit Pointe Elementary, and other nearby schools.

One notable characteristic of Greenwood Elementary is its significantly higher percentage of white students (84.38%) compared to the more diverse student populations at the surrounding schools. This suggests that the school's attendance zone or community demographics are less diverse than the broader Lee's Summit area. Additionally, Greenwood Elementary has a higher per-student spending compared to the state average, ranging from $10,513 to $12,263 over the past four school years, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance and resources available to students.

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.
