Winnetonka High

Summary:

Winnetonka High is a public high school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,284 students. The school is part of the North Kansas City 74 school district, which is ranked 120 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winnetonka High faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, a high percentage of socioeconomically disadvantaged students, and struggles to support its most vulnerable student populations. The school has a relatively diverse student population, with 48.05% White, 18.46% African American, and 19.24% Hispanic students, which is higher compared to nearby schools like Oak Park High and Liberty High. However, Winnetonka High's academic performance on state assessments is below the district and state averages, particularly in Algebra I, Biology I, and English II, and its statewide ranking has steadily declined from 377 out of 460 schools in 2018-2019 to 224 out of 352 schools in 2022-2023.

Winnetonka High's struggles are further highlighted by its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.99% to 64.05% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Oak Park High (41.74%) and Liberty High (21.88%). Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively better rankings for African American and Hispanic students but struggles with English Language Learners, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented 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.
