Winnwood Elementary

Summary:

Winnwood Elementary is a public elementary school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 243 students. The school is part of the North Kansas City 74 school district, which is ranked 126 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winnwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a ranking of 711 out of 906 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 23% of 4th-grade students at Winnwood Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 48.5% in the North Kansas City 74 district and 44.4% statewide. Winnwood Elementary also has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.5% to 29.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the typical chronic absenteeism rate of around 20% for the nearby schools in the district.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Winnwood Elementary, ranging from $12,475 to $15,732 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains significantly lower than the district and state averages. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges, such as a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which could be contributing to the underperformance. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource optimization, and a focus on supporting the specific needs of the school's 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.
