Middle Schools in Haysville

The Haysville school district in Kansas is home to two middle schools: Haysville Middle School and Haysville West Middle School. Both schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, with performance well below the state average on key metrics.

Neither Haysville Middle School nor Haysville West Middle School stand out as clear academic leaders in the district. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Haysville Middle School had only 30.77% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.47%. Similarly, Haysville West Middle School had 32.05% of students proficient or better in ELA during the same year.

Additionally, both schools have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average. While the dropout rates for both schools are on par with the state average, the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes across the board. The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Haysville West Middle School do not appear to be translating into better academic performance compared to Haysville Middle School, suggesting the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and evidence-based practices that directly impact student learning.
