Maplewood Elementary

Summary:

Maplewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 293 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the North Kansas City 74 school district, which is ranked 126 out of 386 districts in the state.

Maplewood Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 164 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 to a low of 543 out of 901 in 2020-2021. However, the school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic measures, particularly in Mathematics and Science. Notably, Maplewood's students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have consistently outperformed their peers, ranking 13 out of 625 Missouri elementary schools for low-SES students in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school has effective strategies in place to support the unique needs of this student population. Despite these strengths, Maplewood has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, an area the school may need to address to improve student attendance and engagement.

When compared to nearby schools in the North Kansas City 74 district, Chapel Hill Elementary consistently outperforms Maplewood in academic measures, while Davidson Elementary and Winnwood Elementary have lower academic performance and higher rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility. This suggests that Maplewood Elementary is a relatively high-performing school within the district, particularly in supporting the academic achievement of its low-SES student population.

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.
