Summary

Moundridge Middle is a public middle school serving grades 4-8 in Moundridge, Kansas, with 171 students. The school is part of the Moundridge school district, which is ranked 92 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moundridge Middle generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grades. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 40.82% of students proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 44.47%, and 37.86% proficient or better in Math compared to the state's 38.73%. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.0% in 2023-2024 to 19.5% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Moundridge Middle has a relatively high percentage of low socioeconomic status (SES) students, with 44.44% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, Moundridge Middle generally outperforms Chisholm Middle School, Santa Fe 5/6 Center, and McPherson Middle School in test scores, particularly in ELA and Science. However, the school's performance on test scores varies significantly by subgroup, with male students generally outperforming female students and white students outperforming low-SES students. Moundridge Middle's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, from 76th in 2016-2017 to 209th in 2024-2025, which could be due to a combination of factors, such as increasing chronic absenteeism and the higher proportion of low-SES students.
