Kellybrook Elementary School

Q: Is Kellybrook Elementary School a good school?

Kellybrook Elementary School ranks 382 nd of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Kellybrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 522 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Liberty 53 school district, which is ranked 87 out of 386 districts in the state.

While Kellybrook Elementary has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools in the district. The school's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA), particularly in 5th grade, are lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Kellybrook has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Kellybrook's performance is also lower than several nearby high-performing schools within the Liberty 53 district, such as Epic Elementary, Ridgeview Elementary, and Warren Hills Elementary. To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, developing strategies to improve attendance, and exploring ways to allocate resources more effectively to support student learning and well-being.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
