University Academy Meets the State's Performance Standards and Exceeds Performance Benchmarks

University Academy, a Kansas City college prep charter has met all 14 of Missouri’s academic performance standards.  Their achievement results include a 92.7% Proficient and Advanced pass rate in English, which is one of the highest in the state.  School wide, they have earned a 95% attendance rate, a 100% graduate and college acceptance rate, and the Middle and High School made AYP for the second consecutive year. 

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s preliminary Annual Performance Reports shows how many academic performance standards that districts have met in categories including test scores, graduation rates and attendance.  The state's system of evaluating schools predates the federal No Child Left Behind Education law.

Three-fifths of the Missouri districts met all the performance standards possible and University Academy was one of them.
