Summary:
The 64110 zip code area of Kansas City, Missouri is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. This community faces significant educational and socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the stark disparities in academic performance and the high levels of poverty among the student population.
Among the standout schools in the area, Frontier School of Excellence-M, a public charter middle school, stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest academic performance on the MAP tests compared to the other schools. The Frontier School of Excellence-U, a public charter high school, also performs better than the other high school in the data set on the MAP End-of-Course exams. These charter schools may be providing some benefits to students in this community, though further analysis would be needed to draw firm conclusions.
The schools in the 64110 zip code have a predominantly minority student population, with African American and Hispanic students making up the majority at most schools. Additionally, all the schools in the data set have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.47% to 99.55%, indicating the high levels of poverty in the area. This socioeconomic factor is likely a significant contributor to the academic challenges faced by students in this community, as the schools generally perform below the state and district averages on the MAP tests, with proficiency rates often in the single digits or low teens.
