Middle Schools in Lansing

Lansing has one listed middle school, Lansing Middle 6-8, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 580 students. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 50% in English language arts, 46% in math and 41% in science, each above Kansas rates. The most important finding is that the school outperformed the state in all three subjects, with its largest advantage in math: 5 percentage points.

Lansing Middle 6-8 is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this list because it is the only one, so there is no meaningful comparison between local schools. Against Kansas, its advantages were 4 points in English language arts, 5 in math and 2 in science. It also scored above the Lansing district in math by 1 point and science by 4 points, while its English language arts result was 1 point lower. SchoolDigger gives the school 4 stars and ranks it 108th of 368 schools statewide, in the 71st percentile.

Math showed the clearest improvement: proficiency rose 4 points from the prior year, compared with a 2-point increase statewide, widening the school’s lead over Kansas by 2 points. English language arts rose by 1 point, but the state gained more, narrowing the school’s advantage by 1 point. Science proficiency fell by 2 points, though the state fell further and the school’s lead grew by 1 point. Attendance is a concern alongside the above-state test results: chronic absenteeism was 27% at the school, versus 22% in the district and 18% statewide. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 13.3, and 36% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. With one school in the list, these figures cannot show how it compares with similar local schools.
