Middle Schools in Blue Valley

Summary:

The Blue Valley school district in Kansas is home to 9 high-performing middle schools that consistently rank among the best in the state. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are known for their academic excellence, with several standout institutions leading the way.

At the top of the district are Aubry Bend Middle School, Lakewood Middle, and Prairie Star Middle, all of which have earned 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and rank among the top 6 middle schools in Kansas. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with over 70% proficiency in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades.

While the district as a whole outperforms the state average, there is some variation in performance among the middle schools. Overland Trail Middle and Blue Valley Middle have the lowest test scores in the district, but still perform better than the state average. The district's low dropout rates and relatively high chronic absenteeism rates suggest that while students are staying in school, there may be room for improvement in student engagement and attendance.
