While the Lee's Summit R-VII district is ranked 64 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating, Lee's Summit Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly concerning in 4th grade Mathematics where only 15.9% of students are proficient, compared to 50.2% in the district and 44.4% statewide. The school's White students and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students have also consistently underperformed compared to their peers statewide.

When comparing Lee's Summit Elementary to other nearby schools in the district, such as Cedar Creek Elementary and Hazel Grove Elementary, it consistently underperforms in both Mathematics and ELA proficiency rates.

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.
