Summary:
The 64105 zip code area of Kansas City, Missouri is home to 3 schools that are part of the Crossroads Charter Schools district. This includes 2 elementary schools (Crossroads - Central Street and Crossroads - Quality Hill) and 1 high school (Crossroads Preparatory Academy). Overall, the data shows that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
None of the Crossroads schools stand out as high-performing, with all three institutions struggling to meet state standards. Test scores at the elementary and high school levels are significantly below Missouri's averages, with proficiency rates in math ranging from just 12% to 33.3% compared to the state's 38.4% to 44.4%. At the high school, the Algebra I proficiency rate was only 8.5%, far below the 41.5% state average. Graduation rates at Crossroads Preparatory Academy were also low at 75.3%, well under the state norm.
The data also reveals high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 47.7% to 47.7% across the schools, and a high-need student population with 54.72% to 59.85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of around $17,000, the Crossroads schools have consistently remained in the bottom quartile of Missouri schools over the past few years, suggesting systemic challenges that the district has struggled to address.
