Middle Schools in Marion-Florence

Summary:

The Marion Middle school is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Marion-Florence school district in Kansas. With a total enrollment of 119 students, Marion Middle is a relatively strong-performing school, ranking in the top 27% of Kansas middle schools in 2023-2024 and improving to the top 26% in 2024-2025.

Marion Middle's academic performance is a standout, with test scores exceeding the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across most grade levels in 2024-2025. The school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger further indicates it is performing above average compared to other Kansas middle schools. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in 2024-2025 is higher than the state average, which could be an area of focus for improvement.

Despite serving a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 40.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, Marion Middle is able to provide a strong educational experience. The school's above-average spending of $12,267 per student in 2018-2019 may contribute to its academic success, along with its low student-teacher ratio of 14.8 in 2023-2024.
