We often hear that we can tell how well a community is doing by how successful its children are. The Report Card on the Status of Greater Kansas City's Children and Youth shows child welfare down slightly since 2000, from a B to a B- in 2005.

Only three components show strong trends over this period of time:

  • The grade for safety and security declined from a B to a C-.
  • Education declined from an A- to a B.
  • Early education (child care) improved from a C+ at its low to a B+.
