Summary:
Douglass Public Schools in Kansas has only one middle school, Marvin Sisk Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance on key metrics, such as test scores, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism, is generally below the district and state averages, indicating that it is not a standout school within the Douglass Public Schools district or the state of Kansas.
Marvin Sisk Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Douglass Public Schools district and the state of Kansas averages, although the school has shown some improvement in recent years. The school's dropout rate is relatively low at 1.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with a 48.87% free and reduced lunch rate in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite these challenges, Marvin Sisk Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 in the 2023-2024 school year, which may indicate smaller class sizes and a more personalized learning environment. However, the school's overall performance suggests that the leadership and the Douglass Public Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the academic and engagement issues faced by the school and improve outcomes for its students.
