Summary

Landon Middle School serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 430 students in Topeka, a community with middle schools in the city and surrounding districts. In 2025–26, 35% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 36% in math and 26% in science. The central finding is that Landon’s results were above Topeka Public Schools in all three subjects, but below Kansas averages in each.

Math is Landon’s clearest strength relative to nearby schools: its 36% proficiency rate was 5 points above the nearby-school average of 31%, 11 points above the district and 5 points below the state. In ELA, Landon’s 35% was 2 points above the nearby average of 33% and 4 points above the district, but 11 points below the state. Science is the weakest comparison: Landon’s 26% was 4 points below the nearby average of 30%, just 2 points above the district and 12 points below the state. Among the 10 nearby schools, Landon ranked 4th in ELA, 5th in math and 6th in science.

Math proficiency has improved over time, rising 13 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26; its gap with the state narrowed by 3 points, though Landon remains below the state result. ELA rose 11 points over those years, while the state rose 13, and Landon’s gap widened by 2 points. SchoolDigger ranks Landon 253rd of 368 schools, at the 31st percentile with 2 stars; its percentile has recovered from 28 in 2024–25 but remains below 40 in 2022–23. Its student-teacher ratio is 12.9, the third-highest among nearby schools with data. The reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 68%, compared with a nearby-school average of 62%—useful context, not an explanation for achievement. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings show a particularly strong result for English Language Learner students: the group ranked at the 84th percentile in 2025–26, compared with Landon’s overall 31st percentile.
