Eastwood Hills Elementary

Summary:

Eastwood Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 329 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Raytown C-2 School District, which is ranked 336 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastwood Hills Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.4% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 18% for the Raytown C-2 district and 38.4% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for African American and low-socioeconomic status students. Additionally, Eastwood Hills has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.7% to 34.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

While the nearby Westridge Elementary, Robinson Elementary, and Blue Ridge Elementary schools in the Raytown C-2 district generally perform better than Eastwood Hills on academic measures, they also face similar challenges, such as high concentrations of low-income students and high chronic absenteeism rates. These systemic issues within the district may be contributing to the poor performance at Eastwood Hills Elementary.

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.
