When comparing Randolph Middle to the nearby schools, the school generally outperforms them in terms of test scores, particularly in Science, where its proficiency rates are significantly higher. The nearby schools, such as Clay Center Community Middle and Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School, have larger student enrollments and higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may indicate they serve more diverse and economically disadvantaged populations. The higher chronic absenteeism rates at the nearby schools suggest this is a broader issue in the region that may require district-level interventions.
