Summary

Dodge City Middle School serves 808 students in grades 6–8 in Dodge City, Kansas. Its 2025–2026 KAP results were below Kansas averages in every tested subject: 21% proficient in English language arts (ELA) versus 46% statewide, 20% in math versus 41%, and 16% in science versus 38%. The most important concern is that the school remains 25 points below the state in ELA, 21 points in math, and 22 points in science.

Compared with nearby Comanche Middle School, Dodge City Middle was nearly even in ELA, with a small edge (21.4% versus 21.2%), and ahead in math (20% versus 17%); Comanche was ahead in science (19% versus 16%). Dodge City Middle also trailed its district in all three subjects, by 4 points in ELA, 2 in math, and 7 in science. Sixth grade is a relative bright spot: its ELA and math results were 26% and 23%, respectively, ahead of Comanche’s 18% and 15%. Seventh-grade ELA was weaker, at 18% compared with Comanche’s 23%.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023—by 10 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 5 in science—but the gaps with Kansas widened over those four years by 3, 6, and 2 points, respectively. Science also dipped 2 points from the prior year. SchoolDigger ranked the school 345th of 368 statewide, at the 6th percentile with 0 stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.8, compared with Comanche’s 14.0; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 83%, versus 85% at Comanche. SchoolDigger’s statewide student-group rankings show a notably higher standing for White students: the school was at the 36th percentile for that group, compared with its overall 6th percentile. Its English Language Learner student-group ranking fell from the 43rd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 19th in 2025–2026, still above the school’s overall percentile.
