Summary

Galesburg Middle School is a public middle school located in Galesburg, Kansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 89 students. The school is part of the Erie-Galesburg school district, which is ranked 214 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Galesburg Middle School faces significant challenges, including a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which rose from 15% in 2023-2024 to 26% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 19.5%. The school also consistently underperforms the state and district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rate in ELA for all grades was 38.39%, compared to the state average of 44.47% and the district average of 40.4%.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Royster Middle School and St. Paul Middle School, Galesburg Middle School performs significantly worse on most academic metrics, including test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep up with its peers in the region and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve outcomes for its students.
