Summary

La Crosse Middle School serves 37 students in grades 7–8 in La Crosse, Kansas. In 2025–2026, schoolwide proficiency was 42% in English Language Arts (ELA), 25% in math, and 38% in science. Math is the clearest academic weakness: its 25% proficiency rate was the lowest of the three subjects.

Science was closest to the state result, while math had the largest state gap: science was about 1 percentage point below Kansas, ELA was 4 points below, and math was 16 points below. Compared with the LaCrosse district, the school was 6 points lower in science, 12 lower in ELA, and 14 lower in math. ELA results also differed by grade: grade 7 reached 50%, about 6 points above the state, while grade 8 was 31%, about 11 points below. There are no other schools within 20 miles for a nearby-school comparison.

Results have improved over the four reported years, though not steadily: ELA rose 15 points, from 27% to 42%, and math rose 17 points, from 8% to 25%; science gained 18 points overall but fell 8 points from the prior year. SchoolDigger places the school at the 35th percentile statewide, ranked 239 of 368, with 2 stars. One notable subgroup result is its SchoolDigger statewide standing for students with low socioeconomic status: the group reached the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 33rd percentile that year, up from the group’s 19th percentile in 2020–2021. The student–teacher ratio was 7.4 in 2024–2025, and 38% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch that year. Chronic absenteeism was 6% in 2025–2026, down from 18% the previous year.
