Summary

Lansing Middle 6-8 serves 580 students in grades 6–8 in Lansing, Kansas. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were above the state’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but the clearest concern is rising chronic absenteeism: it reached 27%, up from 19% two years earlier and above the state’s 18% and the Lansing district’s 22%.

Lansing is strong compared with nearby schools, though it is not the local leader. Among eight nearby schools serving the same grades, it ranked third in all three subjects, with 50% proficiency in ELA, 46% in math and 41% in science. Those results were about 4, 5 and 2 percentage points above state results, respectively. Lansing’s ELA was about 1 point below its district, while math was about 1 point above and science about 4 points above. Only Basehor-Linwood Middle School and Pleasant Ridge Middle scored higher than Lansing in each subject. Science is Lansing’s strongest subject relative to its district; ELA is its weakest.

Scores have improved over four years, even as Lansing’s statewide standing has eased from an earlier high. Since 2022–23, proficiency has risen about 9 points in ELA, 14 in math and 9 in science, although science fell about 2 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks Lansing 108th of 368 schools, in the 71st percentile with four stars; its percentile was 83 in 2022–23 and previously reached 86. The student-teacher ratio was 13.3 in 2024–25, among the lowest of its nearby peers, and the reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 36%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking suggests a relative weakness in serving Special Education Students: Lansing is in the 46th percentile for this group, compared with the 71st percentile overall. Its Multi-racial Students ranking also dropped sharply, from the 74th percentile in 2024–25 to the 46th in 2025–26.
