Summary:
The 64132 zip code area in Kansas City, Missouri is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve predominantly African American student populations facing significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all the schools.
While the overall academic performance in the area is low, with most schools scoring well below state averages in math, science, and English language arts, two schools stand out as relatively stronger performers. Holliday Montessori has the highest performance on standardized tests, with 3rd-grade math proficiency rates exceeding the Kansas City 33 district and Ac Prep Elementary has relatively strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts.
The data also reveals significant disparities in funding, with Holliday Montessori and Ac Prep Elementary spending over $20,000 per student, while Center Elementary spends only $13,901 per student. Understanding the factors that contribute to the relative success of the higher-performing schools, as well as the impact of funding levels, could provide valuable insights for improving education in the broader 64132 community.
