Summary:
The city of Manhattan, Kansas is home to two middle schools: Susan B Anthony Middle School and Dwight D Eisenhower Middle School, both serving grades 6-8 and part of the Manhattan-Ogden school district. Based on the available data, Susan B Anthony Middle School appears to be the higher-performing of the two schools.
Susan B Anthony Middle School ranks 66th out of 363 Kansas middle schools, compared to Dwight D Eisenhower's 118th ranking. Susan B Anthony also has higher student proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% compared to Dwight D Eisenhower's 19.5%. Additionally, Susan B Anthony spends more per student ($11,953) than Dwight D Eisenhower ($10,979).
Both schools have relatively low dropout rates of 1.3%, which is lower than the state average. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates for both schools (19.5%) suggest attendance and engagement may be areas for improvement. The difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools (32.94% at Susan B Anthony vs. 47.22% at Dwight D Eisenhower) indicates Dwight D Eisenhower serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which could contribute to the performance gap observed between the schools.
