My son is in his second year at Renner and he loves it! The school is in a great district and the students get some great direction from the teachers. The class sizes are small enough that every students get enough one on one time with the teachers if needed. I am very satisfied with the teachers and the administrative staff and they are very much interested in the education and well being of all the students. I am actually surprised that this site doesn't have it rated higher than it does! As a parent I would totally reccommend Renner to those who were moving into the Park Hill district and were looking for a great school for their children to attend.

My daughter has went to several schools from Texas to Oklahoma. I can say Renner/Parkhill in Kansas City Mo is the best school. The teachers and Principal are very involved with the students. We actually moved back to Missouri to put her back in Renner. We hope she can continue living in 64154 district and keep her at Renner/Parkhill schools.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math and communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Missouri. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
