Tonganoxie Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 40.13% of Tonganoxie students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.47%. In Math, the proficiency rate was 30.48% compared to 38.73% statewide. The school also has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students, and Hispanic students and students with disabilities performing below their peers at the state level. Additionally, Tonganoxie Middle School has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.3% in 2022-2023 to 19.5% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Mill Creek Middle School and Lexington Trails Middle School in the De Soto district, Tonganoxie Middle School's performance lags behind. These schools consistently outperform Tonganoxie on academic measures and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. The school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 27.16% to 32.57% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a population with greater economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance gaps.
