Summary

Mayberry Cultural and Fine Arts Magnet Middle is a public middle school in Wichita, Kansas, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 596 students. Despite its magnet school status focused on cultural and fine arts, the school consistently underperforms compared to the Wichita and Kansas state averages on standardized tests, with only 30.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 17.36% proficient in math.

Mayberry's subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, also perform significantly below their peers at the state level. The school also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.5% to 33% in recent years, and dropout rates that are higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Mayberry has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 73.64% to 77.11% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby middle schools in the Wichita district, Mayberry is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. For example, Allison Traditional Magnet Middle, located just 1.53 miles away, consistently outperforms Mayberry on academic measures and has a much higher state ranking. Despite its magnet school status, Mayberry does not appear to be leveraging its specialized focus to drive better outcomes for its students, as its performance lags behind that of other magnet schools in the district, such as Jardine Technology Middle Magnet.
