Summary

El Dorado Middle School is a public middle school in El Dorado, Kansas, serving 425 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the El Dorado School District, which is ranked 234 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

El Dorado Middle consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools in academic assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.27% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.47%. In mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower at 19.77%, compared to the state average of 38.73%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.3% and relatively high dropout rates ranging from 0.6% to 2.3% in recent years. These challenges are particularly concerning given that 68.47% of El Dorado Middle's students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Andover Central Middle School and Andover Middle School, El Dorado Middle's academic performance lags significantly. The school's ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, from 214 out of 368 Kansas middle schools in 2018-2019 to 326 out of 363 in 2024-2025. Despite higher spending per student ($12,278 in 2018-2019) than the state average, these resources have not translated into improved outcomes for the school.
