Summary

Chanute Middle School is a public school serving grades 6–8 in Chanute, Kansas, with 389 students—the largest enrollment among the five nearby schools in the comparison. In 2025–2026, 43% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 37% in math and 35% in science. The clearest concern is eighth-grade math: 29% were proficient, compared with 40% statewide, placing Chanute fourth among the five nearby schools.

ELA is the school’s strongest result compared with nearby schools: its 43% proficiency rate was above their 41% average, though just below the 44% district rate and 46% statewide rate. Math was close to both the nearby average and district result, at 37% for Chanute versus 38% for each; the state rate was 41%. Science is a relative strength against the district, with Chanute at 35% compared with 32% for Chanute Public Schools. But it was below the 38% state rate and the 39% nearby-school average, and ranked fourth locally. Sixth- and seventh-grade ELA and math results were generally more competitive: Chanute was above state rates in both subjects in those grades, but fell below the state in eighth grade.

Proficiency has improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 16 points, math 21 points and science 15 points, narrowing the gaps with the state in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks Chanute at the 46th percentile with 2 stars, up 10 percentile points from 2022–2023; it is third among the five nearby schools. Its student–teacher ratio is 12.9, close to the nearby average of 12.5, and 59% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, near the nearby average of 58%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for multiracial students is at the 5th percentile with 0 stars, compared with the school’s 46th-percentile overall ranking. Its ranking for special education students has also fallen, from the 81st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 53rd in 2025–2026, even as the overall ranking rose.
