Summary

Comanche Middle School is a public middle school in Dodge City, Kansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 761 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Comanche Middle School underperforms the Dodge City and Kansas state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for English Language Learners but lower rankings for most other subgroups. Comanche Middle School also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates and dropout rates that are higher than the state average.

Despite being located just 0.5 miles away from Dodge City Middle School, which outperforms Comanche across various metrics, the school has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or other key indicators over the past 10 years. This suggests that the Dodge City school district may be facing significant challenges in providing high-quality education to its students.
