Fleetridge Elem., Kansas City MO

Original Research by School Decision on Fleetridge Elem.

Fleetridge Elementary serves students from kindergarten through fifth grade and operates as a regular public school within the Raytown C-2 School District in Kansas City, Missouri. It is a neighborhood elementary school, not a charter or magnet school.

The student body is moderate in size for an elementary school. The composition is diverse: a substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Racially and ethnically, the school enrolls a mix of Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. Data on students with disabilities and English learners were not available in the provided records.

State testing results from the Missouri Assessment Program are reported for grades three, four, and five in math and English language arts, and for fifth grade in science. In math, proficiency rates varied across grades, with one grade showing a notably stronger result than the others. In English language arts, results were similarly mixed across grades; the fifth-grade ELA result was suppressed, which can happen when reporting thresholds are not met. Fifth-grade science proficiency rates were comparable to the math results for that grade. When measured against other districts in Jackson County on an overall proficiency index that combines tested subjects and grades, Fleetridge placed above the midpoint of the county’s districts.

Because the school only serves elementary grades, there is no graduation rate, and measures like chronic absenteeism were not available in the data examined. Information on discipline, course access, staffing, and attendance was also absent from the records.

The school is located in Kansas City, a large, sprawling urban center that is the largest city in Missouri by population and land area. The city has a mix of commercial, industrial, and residential uses across a very large footprint, with concentrated walkable areas downtown and in a few other districts, but overall it is car-dependent. Fleetridge sits within the Raytown C-2 District, which covers a portion of eastern Kansas City. The district’s recent publicly reported changes were minimal, and the brief search found little of lasting impact.

Housing in the school’s ZIP code area values below the state average but near the national median. Rents are modest relative to household incomes for the area, and the estimated monthly mortgage payment on a median-priced home falls well within typical affordability guidelines.

This is a neighborhood elementary school serving a diverse student population in a large Midwestern city. Its academic proficiency, while not uniformly high across all grades and subjects, ranks above the midpoint among Jackson County school districts overall. Families looking at Fleetridge may want to inquire directly with the school about programs, supports for students with disabilities and English learners, and any recent school-level initiatives, as those details were not available in the provided data.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
