Top rankedJardine Middle School323^rd of 363 Kansas middle schools

Summary:

The 66611 zip code in Kansas has only one middle school, Jardine Middle School, which is part of the Topeka Public Schools district. This school is struggling academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school has a high dropout rate and chronic absenteeism, suggesting significant challenges in supporting student learning and engagement.

Jardine Middle School has a low ranking, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its district is ranked 247 out of 264 districts in Kansas. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 278 out of 362 Kansas middle schools in 2023-2024 to 323 out of 363 in 2024-2025. This poor academic performance is coupled with a high percentage of students (78.32%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the low academic performance, Jardine Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which could be an asset if leveraged effectively to support student learning. However, the school's overall struggles suggest that a comprehensive, data-driven approach is needed to address the academic, attendance, and demographic challenges faced by the school and improve student outcomes.
