Alfred L. Renner Elementary

Summary:

Alfred L. Renner Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 427 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Park Hill School District, which is ranked 76 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a well-regarded district, Alfred L. Renner Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency on the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 28.7% to 34.5%, while the Park Hill district and Missouri state averages were significantly higher, ranging from 38.4% to 49.5%. A similar pattern is observed in English Language Arts, where Alfred L. Renner's proficiency rates were lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.5% to 23.2% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Union Chapel Elementary and Hawthorn Elementary, Alfred L. Renner Elementary generally underperforms in terms of academic achievement. This suggests that the challenges faced by the school may be unique and require targeted interventions to address the underlying issues. The school's declining statewide ranking, from a high of 253 out of 865 Missouri elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 524 out of 906 in the 2023-2024 school year, is also concerning and may indicate broader challenges in the school's performance and quality.

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.
