At the middle school level, Susan B Anthony Middle School stands out, ranking in the top 20% of Kansas middle schools with a 4-star rating.

While the district as a whole performs well above the state average, there is some variation in student outcomes across the schools. The data suggests that factors such as per-student spending and socioeconomic status may play a role in the disparities observed, though the relationship is not always straightforward. Nonetheless, the Manhattan-Ogden district remains a strong educational system, with high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and a commitment to supporting student success across all of its schools.
