Middle Schools in Santa Fe Trail

Summary:

The Santa Fe Trail district in Kansas has only one middle school, Carbondale Attendance Center, which serves grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 398 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels.

Carbondale Attendance Center is ranked 202 out of 363 Kansas middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 89.5%, with a dropout rate of 1.3%. However, the school faces challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 44.72% in 2023-2024.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,815 in 2018-2019 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.5 in 2023-2024, the academic performance of Carbondale Attendance Center has been declining, with its ranking and star rating dropping in recent years. This suggests that factors beyond funding, such as instructional quality, teacher effectiveness, and school climate, may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.
