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 327 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastwood Hills Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (59.27%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 37.39% to 72.97% African American students. However, the school consistently performs below the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) ranging from 10-20% for most grade levels. This is significantly lower than the nearby Blue Ridge Elementary and Laurel Hills Elementary, which have proficiency rates ranging from 20-50% in these subjects. Eastwood Hills also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.87% to 82.37% over the past few years, higher than the surrounding schools.

The data suggests that Eastwood Hills Elementary and the other schools in the Raytown C-2 district are serving a high-need student population, and Eastwood Hills in particular is facing significant challenges that contribute to its low academic performance and statewide ranking in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools. Implementing targeted interventions, such as additional academic support, social-emotional learning programs, and family engagement initiatives, could be crucial in helping this school and others in the district improve student outcomes.

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.
