Tiffany Ridge Elementary School

Q: Is Tiffany Ridge Elementary School a good school?

Tiffany Ridge Elementary School ranks 514 th of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Tiffany Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 471 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 rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Tiffany Ridge Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, the school's performance varies among different student subgroups. For example, the school's ranking for African American students has been relatively strong, ranging from 67th to 86th out of 250-243 Missouri elementary schools. However, for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, the school's ranking has been much lower, indicating significant achievement gaps. Additionally, Tiffany Ridge Elementary School has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, which may contribute to its lower academic performance.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Park Hill School District, such as Hawthorn Elementary and English Landing Elementary, Tiffany Ridge Elementary School generally underperforms in academic measures, including MAP test proficiency rates. This may be partly due to the school's higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which could contribute to the achievement gaps observed among different student subgroups.

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.
