Summary

Coleman Middle School is a public middle school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 544 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. Unfortunately, Coleman Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Kansas middle schools over the past decade.

Academically, Coleman Middle School significantly underperforms compared to the Wichita district and the state of Kansas. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.36% of Coleman students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.89% in Wichita and 44.47% statewide. The math proficiency rate was even lower at 13.16%, compared to 18.62% in Wichita and 38.73% statewide. The school also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.5% to 33% over the past few years, and relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.4% to 2.5% in recent years.

When comparing Coleman Middle School to other nearby schools in the Wichita district, it is clear that Coleman is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For example, Allison Traditional Magnet Middle School, located just 5.86 miles away, outperforms Coleman across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates nearly double or more in many cases. The two magnet schools in the area, Allison Traditional Magnet Middle and Brooks Magnet Middle, consistently outperform Coleman Middle School and the Wichita district as a whole, suggesting that the magnet school model may be more effective in improving student outcomes.
