Summary:
The Erie-Galesburg district in Kansas has only one middle school, Galesburg Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 89 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is below average compared to other middle schools in the state.
Galesburg Middle School is ranked 257 out of 363 Kansas middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels, and these rates have declined from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's above-average per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its performance suggests that resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population, which has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These socioeconomic factors likely play a significant role in the school's academic outcomes, and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student achievement at Galesburg Middle School.
