El Dorado Middle

Summary:

El Dorado Middle School is a public middle school in El Dorado, Kansas, serving 439 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the El Dorado School District, which is ranked 243 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

El Dorado Middle consistently underperforms compared to the state average and nearby schools like Andover Central Middle School and Remington Middle School. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.44% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.55%, and only 12.77% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 31.6%. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom third of Kansas middle schools for Hispanic, White, Multi-racial, and students with disabilities.

Additionally, El Dorado Middle has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 59.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. This high rate of poverty appears to be a significant factor contributing to the school's academic struggles, as research suggests that students from low-income families often face additional challenges that can impact their academic performance. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement comprehensive strategies that target the unique needs of the student population and provide the necessary resources and support to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
