Summary:
The 64132 zip code area of Kansas City, Missouri is home to 5 schools - 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools in this high-poverty area face significant challenges, with most students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, one school stands out as a bright spot: Holliday Montessori, a public magnet elementary school.
Holliday Montessori outperforms the other schools in the area on state assessments, with 30.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the district average of 20.2% and the state average of 41.6%. The school also has higher math and science proficiency rates. Another relatively high-performing school is Ac Prep Elementary, which exceeds district and state averages in several grade levels and subject areas.
However, the other schools in the 64132 zip code area face significant challenges, with alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 36.7% at Center Elementary to 73.4% at Hogan Preparatory Academy Middle. Proficiency rates on state assessments are also well below state averages, suggesting major achievement gaps that need to be addressed. Addressing these issues, particularly chronic absenteeism, should be a top priority for the Kansas City 33, Center 58, and Hogan Preparatory Academy districts.
