Middle Schools in Scott County

Summary:

There is only one middle school located in Scott County, Kansas - Scott City Middle School. The school serves grades 6-8 and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas middle schools, with below-average performance on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Scott City Middle School faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (54.11% in 2023-2024), an elevated chronic absenteeism rate (19.5% in 2024-2025), and a slightly higher dropout rate (1.3% in 2023-2024) compared to the state average. The school's per-student spending is also below the state average, at $8,607 for the 2018-2019 school year, which may contribute to its academic struggles.

Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1 in 2023-2024, which is slightly lower than the state average. Addressing the school's performance and demographic issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased funding and support, and a focus on improving the overall educational experience for students.
