298^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 368 Kansas Middle Schools

Better than 19% of Kansas middle schools

Summary

El Dorado Middle serves 370 students in grades 6–8 in El Dorado, Kansas. Chronic absenteeism is a concern: 29% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, the highest rate among the seven nearby schools and 11 points above the state rate. The most important academic finding is that the school had the lowest nearby-school results in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics.

Science is El Dorado Middle’s strongest subject relative to the state, its district and nearby schools, while mathematics is its weakest compared with the state and district. In 2025–26, 33% of students were proficient in ELA, 23% in mathematics and 33% in science. Those results were 13, 18 and 5 percentage points below state rates, respectively. Compared with the El Dorado district, the school was nearly even in ELA and math, and 5 points higher in science. It had the lowest ELA and math results among nearby schools and the second-lowest science result. Even in science, its strongest subject, it remained below the state and most nearby schools.

Scores have risen since 2022–23, especially in science: proficiency increased 8 points in ELA, 6 in math and 15 in science, though math remains far below the state. The school’s chronic absenteeism also rose 5 points over that span. SchoolDigger ranked the school 298th of 368, at the 19th percentile and with one star in 2025–26; its percentile improved from 10 the prior year but remains lowest among nearby schools. Its student–teacher ratio was relatively low at 12.5, while its free/reduced-lunch rate was the nearby group’s highest at 66%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students was notably stronger than its overall standing: 46th percentile compared with 19th overall. For students with disabilities, its ranking fell sharply from the 67th percentile in 2017–18 to the 12th percentile in 2020–21, the latest year provided for that group.
