Summary

Clifton-Clyde Middle School is a public middle school located in Clifton, Kansas, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 115 students. The school is part of the Clifton-Clyde District, which is ranked 170 out of 264 districts in Kansas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Clifton-Clyde Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from a high of 64 out of 343 Kansas middle schools in 2015-2016 (4 stars) to a low of 238 out of 363 in 2024-2025 (2 stars). The school's performance for different student subgroups has also been mixed, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile of Kansas middle schools for white students and low socioeconomic status students in recent years. However, the school has maintained relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 1.3% to 1.7% over the past few years.

Compared to the nearby Clay Center Community Middle school, which serves a larger student population, Clifton-Clyde Middle School has generally underperformed in academic measures, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. This decline in performance is particularly concerning, as the school has gone from being a relatively high-performing middle school to a below-average performer in recent years. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 0.0% to 19.5% in a single year, which may be impacting its academic performance.
