Quindaro Elementary

Summary:

Quindaro Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Kansas, serving 319 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Kansas City school district, which is ranked 257 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Quindaro Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Kansas elementary schools, with academic performance significantly lower than the Kansas City and statewide averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 19.16% of Quindaro students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 14.33% for Kansas City and 33.55% for the state. In mathematics, the proficiency rate was 18.06% for Quindaro, 12.18% for Kansas City, and 31.6% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for female, male, and special education students, but relatively stronger for African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners.

Quindaro Elementary's high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, is likely a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges. Nearby schools in the Kansas City district, such as Mark Twain Elementary, Welborn Elementary, and Eugene Ware Elementary, also perform poorly compared to the state average, while some schools, like West Park Elementary and Bertram Caruthers Elementary, show slightly better academic performance.

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.
