Summary:

The 66720 zip code is home to a single public middle school, Royster Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with 393 students. The school is part of the Chanute Public Schools district, which is ranked 165 out of 264 in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Royster Middle School has a 2-star rating and ranks 216 out of 363 Kansas middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance on state assessments is consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, suggesting the school may be struggling to meet academic standards. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 58.02%. This may require additional resources and support to ensure the academic and social-emotional needs of these students are met. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.5 to 1 is relatively low, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that Royster Middle School is facing some challenges and could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
