Summary

Fort Riley Middle School serves 541 students in grades 6–8 in Fort Riley, Kansas, a community with military-connected families. Its 2025–2026 results were above state averages in all three tested subjects, with science a standout. But schoolwide scores mask an important grade-level concern: sixth graders, particularly in math, scored well below Fort Riley’s older students and nearby schools.

Science is Fort Riley’s clearest strength: 57% were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 44% in Geary County Schools. That was the second-highest result among the five nearby schools, just behind Susan B Anthony Middle School (56.6% versus 57.1%). Math is a relative weakness: Fort Riley’s 42% was second-lowest among nearby schools and below their 46% average; only Junction City Middle School scored lower. Sixth-grade math was 32%, below the state’s 41% and every nearby sixth-grade result. In ELA, Fort Riley’s 47.2% was close to the nearby average of 47.3%; sixth graders scored 34%, compared with 54% in seventh grade and 55% in eighth.

Scores have improved over the four reported years, but the latest year brought declines: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 14 percentage points, math 6 points, and science 21 points; each subject then fell from 2024–2025. SchoolDigger places Fort Riley at the 70th statewide percentile with 4 stars, down 15 percentile points from 2023–2024; Dwight D Eisenhower Middle School is at the 69th percentile, while Chapman and Susan B Anthony rank higher. Fort Riley’s student-teacher ratio is a nearby-low 11.1, and its free/reduced-lunch rate is 41%. A notable subgroup concern is the SchoolDigger ranking for Military Connected Students: it fell from the 62nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 25th in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 70th percentile; the latest subgroup comparison includes 12 schools.
