Summary:
Zip code 66534 has one listed middle school, Sabetha Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 173 students, so families have no second school in the list for a direct local comparison. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed rather than uniformly strong or weak: the clearest finding is that science proficiency was 11 percentage points above Kansas, while ELA was 2 points below.
Because it is the only school listed, Sabetha is not meaningfully a local top or bottom performer. Compared with Kansas, it was ahead in science, at 49% versus 38%, and math, at 45% versus 41%; its ELA result was 44% versus 46% statewide. Compared with the Prairie Hills district, however, Sabetha was below in all three subjects: ELA was 44% versus 52%, math 45% versus 56%, and science 49% versus 51%. Chronic absenteeism was 8%, about 10 percentage points below the state’s 18% and 1 point above the district’s 8%.
Results shifted in different directions over the two years reported: ELA fell by 2 percentage points at Sabetha while rising by 1 point statewide; math rose by 3 points, and science rose by 2 as Kansas science results fell by 3 points. The strongest grade-level contrasts were sixth-grade ELA, 30% compared with 42% statewide, and eighth-grade math, 53% compared with 40%. SchoolDigger ranks Sabetha 126th of 368 schools, at the 66th percentile, down from 72nd and the 80th percentile in 2023–2024; its district ranks 16th of 268, at the 94th percentile, with 5 stars. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 13.1, and 34% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in the reported year; these figures offer context, not a comparison with other local schools.
