Summary:

The middle schools in Garden City, Kansas face significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. The four middle schools in the area - Horace J. Good Middle School, Kenneth Henderson Middle, Charles O Stones Intermediate Center, and Bernadine Sitts Intermediate Center - generally struggle academically compared to state averages, with proficiency rates in core subjects well below the Kansas state average.

Among the four schools, Kenneth Henderson Middle stands out as the highest performing, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, as well as the highest statewide school ranking. Charles O Stones Intermediate Center also has strong science proficiency rates, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The middle schools in Garden City serve student populations with high rates of poverty, with all four schools having free/reduced lunch rates above 65%. This likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by these schools, which also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to support student learning and achievement in this area.
