Summary

Robert E Clark Middle is a public middle school located in Bonner Springs, Kansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 587 students. The school is part of the Bonner Springs school district, which is ranked 200 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robert E Clark Middle consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kansas middle schools, typically between 200-300 out of 350-370 schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 32.07% in ELA, 27.77% in Math, and 26.33% in Science, compared to the state averages of 44.47%, 38.73%, and 41.44%, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19.5% to 23.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's dropout rates have been relatively high, ranging from 0.5% to 1.6% in recent years.

While Robert E Clark Middle's overall performance is low, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is relatively better compared to the state averages for those subgroups. However, the school still struggles to support the academic achievement of these subgroups, as their proficiency rates are still below the state averages. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the high chronic absenteeism rate may be contributing factors to the school's overall low academic performance. In comparison, nearby middle schools such as Lexington Trails Middle School, Monticello Trails Middle School, and Prairie Trail Middle School are all ranked in the top 50-100 middle schools in Kansas and have significantly higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve a lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
