Summary:
The 67550 zip code in Kansas is home to a single middle school, Larned Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it generally falls below the district and state averages in key metrics like proficiency rates and statewide rankings.
Larned Middle School's statewide ranking has ranged from 164 to 222 out of 362-363 Kansas middle schools over the past 3 years, and its SchoolDigger performance rating is 2 out of 5 stars, indicating it is below average compared to other middle schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the Ft Larned district and Kansas state averages, with some exceptions, such as the 8th grade Science proficiency rate being higher than the state average.
One notable factor is the high percentage of students at Larned Middle School who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (52.82% in 2023-2024), suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite this challenge, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 to 1, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $17,967, which is higher than the national average for middle schools. These resource allocations, however, do not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes for the students.
