Summary

Tonganoxie Middle School serves 433 students in grades 6–8 in the Tonganoxie community of eastern Kansas. Its results are mixed: English language arts and science are close to statewide results, while math is the clearest academic concern. In 2025–26, all-grade math proficiency was 35%, below the state’s 41% and the Tonganoxie district’s 37%; eighth-grade math was especially weak at 29%, 10 points below the state.

English language arts is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state and district: proficiency was 46%, roughly matching both, and nearly matching the nearby-school average of 46%. Math and science lag nearby schools: math proficiency was 35% versus a nearby average of 42%, while science was 39% versus 44%. Science was just above the state’s 38%, but below the district’s 42%. Attendance is a positive point: chronic absenteeism was 14%, lower than the district’s 15%, the state’s 18%, and the nearby-school average of 23%.

Scores have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 19 points to 46%, math rose 23 points to 35%, and science rose 12 points to 39%, though science dipped before recovering. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 52nd percentile statewide and gives it 3 stars; its nearby standing is around the middle of the group. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 13.3, and 33% of students were reported eligible for free or reduced-price lunch; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results. One subgroup result is a notable concern: SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 effectiveness ranking for special education students was at the 6th percentile, down from the 43rd percentile the year before and well below the school’s overall 52nd-percentile ranking.
