West Englewood Elementary

Summary:

West Englewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 403 students in grades K-5 and part of the North Kansas City 74 school district.

While West Englewood Elementary generally performs better than the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across grades 3-5, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, from a high of 83 out of 1,032 Missouri elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 498 out of 906 in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school excels in supporting its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, but struggles with its 4th and 5th grade students and its disabled student population. Additionally, West Englewood Elementary has experienced a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, which could be contributing to its declining academic performance.

When compared to schools in the neighboring Park Hill district, such as Hopewell Elementary and Southeast Elementary, West Englewood Elementary consistently underperforms.

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.
