Summary

Brooks Magnet Middle School is a public magnet middle school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 529 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Wichita school district, which is ranked 245 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Brooks Magnet Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the Wichita and Kansas state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 24.99% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.89% in Wichita and 44.47% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 33% in recent years, and dropout rates between 1.3% and 2.5%. Additionally, Brooks Magnet has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.94% to 84.5%, indicating a high-poverty student population.

When comparing Brooks Magnet Middle School to other nearby middle schools in the Wichita district, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming academically. For instance, Allison Traditional Magnet Middle School, another magnet school, consistently outperforms Brooks Magnet in test scores and ranks much higher statewide. These factors suggest that the school's magnet program may not be effectively meeting the needs of its students, and that there may be systemic issues within the Wichita school district that are impacting the quality of education across all its schools.

The people that run the school have atotal disrepect for the people in the neig hborhood, example the yard around the school is trashy, the airconditioner is extremely loud night and day, neighbors and parents have talked with the official about the situation it seems they don't care after all they do not live in the area Close Quote

My daughter goes here, it's a wonderful school. And has just the right pace for her, I enjoy seeing that she's learned something everyday, also I went here as a pre-teen and now I work at Koch Industries. All that hard work really paid off, I really enjoy the Principals and the staff, they are very dedicated to their work! Close Quote
