Summary

Derby North Middle School enrolls 832 students in grades 6–8 in Derby, Kansas, and is part of the Derby district. In 2025–26, 39% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 33% in math and 33% in science. Scores were below state results in all three subjects, but above the averages for nearby traditional middle schools. The clearest concern is the sharp one-year reversal: proficiency fell in every subject, even as the school remained above local averages.

Compared with nearby schools, Derby North is strongest in ELA: its 39% proficiency rate is 9 percentage points above the nearby-school average of 30%, and it ranks third among the 10 schools in the comparison. It also ranks third in math and fourth in science, with results above local averages in both. Still, math is the school’s weakest subject against the state: 33% proficiency is 8 points below the state’s 41%. Science is closest to district and state results, at 33% compared with 34% for the district and 38% statewide. Eighth-grade math stands out as a strength at 43%, above the state’s 40%; seventh-grade math is weaker at 27%, versus 38% statewide.

Scores have risen over the longer term, but the latest year brought sizable declines: ELA fell 6 percentage points, math 7 and science 11 from 2024–25 to 2025–26. Since 2022–23, proficiency has increased 10 points in ELA, 5 in math and 11 in science. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 62nd percentile and 3 stars to the 37th percentile and 2 stars; that is a setback, though the school still ranks above most nearby schools with a ranking. SchoolDigger’s subgroup measure also shifted sharply: the Hispanic Students ranking fell from the 72nd percentile to the 25th, while Military Connected Students fell to the 8th percentile from the 38th in 2023–24. The school’s student-teacher ratio is 14.5, compared with a nearby-school average of 13.1; its free/reduced-lunch rate is 47%, below the nearby average of 66%.
