Middle Schools in Ashland

Summary:

The Ashland Junior High School is the sole middle school located in Ashland, Kansas. The school serves grades 7-8 and has faced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 112th out of 362 Kansas middle schools in 2023-2024 to 249th out of 362 in 2022-2023.

Ashland Junior High School's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.09%) and Science (26.66%) falling below the state averages in 2024-2025, while its Mathematics proficiency rate (53.65%) was above the state average. Compared to the previous year, the school's proficiency rates improved in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but declined in Science. The school has a relatively small student population of 43 and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 32.56%.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $16,214 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.7 compared to the state average, the school's academic performance has been inconsistent. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving student outcomes, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, and explore ways to address the needs of its student population, which includes a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
