Summary

Curtis Middle School serves grades 6–8 in Wichita, Kansas, and enrolls 846 students. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 15% in English language arts (ELA), 8% in math, and 11% in science—below both the Wichita district and Kansas in every subject. The most important finding is that Curtis faces a broad academic challenge: its results were 15–33 percentage points below district and state rates, depending on the subject.

ELA is Curtis’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, but it still falls well short of district and state results: its 15% rate was 15 points below the district and 31 below Kansas, and only Wells Alternative Middle School scored lower nearby. Math is the weakest relative to the district and state, at 8% versus 21% and 41%; it was higher than three nearby schools. In science, Curtis’s 11% rate was 10 points below the district and 27 below the state, and only Truesdell Middle School scored lower among nearby schools reporting results. Science also had the largest gap from the nearby-school average: 13 points, compared with 9 in ELA and 10 in math.

Results have improved unevenly over four years: ELA rose 7 percentage points and science 8, while math gained just 1; compared with Kansas, the gap widened by 6 points in ELA and 9 in math, and narrowed by 1 in science. In the latest year, math fell 3 points and science 1, while ELA rose 1. SchoolDigger ranked Curtis 362nd of 368 statewide, at the 2nd percentile with 0 stars; its district rank was 253rd of 268, at the 6th percentile with 0 stars. Its student-teacher ratio of 12.6 was below the nearby average of 13.2, while its free/reduced-lunch rate was 92%, compared with 85% nearby; these are context, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show a relative strength for English learners, at the 54th percentile compared with Curtis’s 2nd-percentile overall rank, and a 60th-percentile ranking for homeless students, up from the 14th percentile in 2023–2024. The homeless-student comparison included only 7–10 schools.
