Summary:
Erie-Galesburg has one listed middle school, Galesburg Middle School, serving grades 5–8 and enrolling 112 students. In 2025–26, its proficiency was 44% in English language arts (ELA), 45% in math and 39% in science; compared with Kansas, it was 2 points lower in ELA, 4 points higher in math and 1 point higher in science. Most importantly, its unweighted average across the three subjects was 1 point above the state average, after being 9 points below the year before.
There is no meaningful school-to-school comparison: Galesburg is both the area’s only school and its only result. Math is its strongest current subject relative to the state, but the overall figure hides a sharp grade-level split: Galesburg was ahead of Kansas by 8 points in grade 5, 9 in grade 6 and 12 in grade 8, but behind by 13 points in grade 7. Scores ranged from 25% in grade 7 to 53% in grade 5. ELA was below Kansas overall, with grade results ranging from 2 points above the state in grade 7 to 4 points below in grade 8. Science was 1 point above the state overall, though Galesburg was behind in both tested grades: by 2 points in grade 5 and 4 in grade 8.
Results improved across all three subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 6 points, math 15 and science 11. The unweighted average increased by 11 points, from 32% to 43%, while Kansas’s average changed by less than 1 point. SchoolDigger’s ranking also rose, from the 29th percentile and 1 star to the 53rd percentile and 3 stars. Chronic absenteeism was 21%, above the state’s 18% and the Erie-Galesburg district’s 20%. Other reported context includes an 11.2 student-teacher ratio and a 66% free/reduced-lunch rate in 2024–25, plus spending of $15,476 per student in 2023–24. With only one school listed, these figures cannot show how its context compares with other local schools.
