Summary:
The 64126 zip code area has only one school, Trailwoods Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (69.45%), with significant representation from African American (15.27%) and White (9.8%) students. However, Trailwoods Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Kansas City 33 district and the state of Missouri in academic assessments, particularly in science, where only 4.9% of 5th-grade students are proficient or better, compared to 15.5% for the district and 40.9% for the state.
Despite the school's high poverty levels, with 99.14% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Trailwoods Elementary's per-student spending is relatively high at $19,212 per year. Additionally, the school has a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.2, which could be an asset in providing more individualized attention. However, these resources do not seem to be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
The analysis suggests that Trailwoods Elementary faces significant challenges in providing effective instruction and support for its students, who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's low academic performance, such as instructional practices, curriculum alignment, teacher professional development, or student support services, could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students in this area.
