Summary

Richard Warren Middle School in Leavenworth, Kansas, serves 427 students in grades 7–8 and is one of several middle-school options in the surrounding area. Its latest results show low proficiency in every tested subject, alongside chronic absenteeism affecting 43% of students—the highest rate among nearby schools with data. The central concern for families is that many students are missing school while academic results remain low.

Mathematics is the clearest weakness: 13% of students were proficient, compared with 21% in the Leavenworth district and 41% statewide. The school’s math result was 24 points below the nearby-school average, and second-lowest among 11 nearby schools. ELA is its strongest subject relative to local schools: proficiency was 26%, 16 points below the local average, and fourth-lowest among 11 schools. Science proficiency was 23%, 13 points below the local average and third-lowest locally. Across subjects, the school also trailed the district by 3 to 8 points and the state by 16 to 28 points. The school’s 43% chronic absenteeism rate was 11 points above the district and 26 above the state.

Scores have improved since 2022–2023: proficiency rose 9 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 7 in science. But state results rose faster, widening the school’s ELA gap by 3 points and its math gap by 4, while the science gap changed by less than 1 point. SchoolDigger ranks the school 338th of 368 statewide, at the 8th percentile with 0 stars; its percentile has stayed between 8 and 9 over the latest three years. The 13.5 student–teacher ratio is below the nearby-school average, and the 67% free/reduced-lunch rate is fourth-highest locally; these are context, not explanations for results. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is that its statewide effectiveness percentile for Hispanic students rose from 4 to 19 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, while its overall percentile remained near 8.
