The Citywide Education Progress Report looks at how a city is doing across three goals: (1) The education system is continuously improving; (2) All students have access to a high-quality education; and (3) The education strategy is rooted in the community. Across each goal it presents indicators of what the city is doing and how it is doing. The reports focus on education strategies for the 2017-18 school year. The analyses reflect developments through June 2018. These are updates to the original reports from the 2016-17 school year. In the Kansas City schools, district enrollment is on the upswing after years of declines. Some of Kansas City's charter schools, which comprise about half of the city's public schools, are among the best in Missouri. However, one in three city schools scored in the bottom 5% of the state in 2016-17 and it appears that neither sector has a strong and coherent improvement strategy. The relationship between the district and charters is competitive, making it challenging for leaders to collaborate on systemic solutions to the common problems facing their schools and families. Nearly one-third of the city's schools are performing well below the state average. Both the district and charter sectors face challenges with hiring and retaining talented educators. Family engagement varies across schools within both sectors. Between 2011-12 and 2014-15, the graduation rate across Kansas City remained essentially flat relative to the state. Between 2010-11 to 2015-16, citywide proficiency rates on state assessments did not improve relative to the state overall, and access to top-scoring schools in the city remains uneven.
