Summary
Kingman Middle School is a small public school in Kingman, Kansas, serving 89 students in grades 7–8. Its latest results show science as a clear strength, while math is the main area of concern: seventh-grade math proficiency is 30%, compared with 45% in eighth grade. The most important takeaway is that the schoolwide math average hides a substantial challenge for seventh graders.
Science is the school’s strongest subject against state, district, and nearby-school results: 65% of students are proficient, 27 points above the state, 20 above the Kingman - Norwich district, and 16 above the nearby-school average. It also narrowly leads Cheney Middle School 6-8 in science, at 65.0% versus 64.1%. In math, Kingman is 4 points below the state, 1 below its district, and 19 below the nearby-school average. ELA is close to the state average and 3 points above the district, though 4 below the nearby-school average. In seventh-grade math, Kingman trails the two nearby schools’ average by 22 points.
Results have risen sharply: since 2022–2023, proficiency has increased 38 points in ELA, 27 in math, and 50 in science. The latest science score alone jumped 23 points in a year. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 69th percentile with 3 stars, up from the 7th percentile four years earlier. Its student-teacher ratio is 10.3, the lowest among the three nearby schools; its 2024–2025 free/reduced-lunch rate is 57%, the highest of the group, a contextual measure rather than an explanation for test results. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a notable difference: the female-student ranking is at the 49th percentile, below the school’s overall standing, while the male-student ranking reached the 80th percentile, up from the 11th in 2020–2021. With enrollment at 89, individual years’ results may be sensitive to a small number of students.
