Summary:
The middle-school list for Piper-Kansas City contains one school, Piper Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 680 students. Its most important pattern is a subject-by-subject contrast: math is its strongest result relative to Kansas, while science is its clearest gap.
There is no school-to-school top or bottom comparison because Piper Middle is the only school listed. Among its subjects, math stands out positively: 45% of students were proficient, 4 points above Kansas, though 1 point below the district. Science is the weakest relative result, at 34%—4 points below Kansas and 9 below the district. ELA was about level with Kansas at 46%, and 1 point below the district. Grade results vary too: eighth-grade math was 12 points above Kansas, while eighth-grade science was 5 points below.
Results changed in different directions from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: math rose 4 points, while ELA fell 3 and science fell 1. ELA’s position shifted from 4 points above Kansas to just below it; math’s lead over the state grew from 3 to 4 points, and science’s gap narrowed from 7 to 4 points below. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking declined from 71st in 2023–2024 to 63rd in 2025–2026, and its rating went from 4 stars to 3. Other context includes a student-teacher ratio of 13.8 and a free/reduced-lunch rate of 29%; absenteeism was 20%, below the district’s 26% but above Kansas’s 18%. Because only one school is listed, the data cannot show how it compares with similar schools.
