Summary:
The city of Everest, Kansas has only one public middle school, Everest Middle, which serves grades 5-8 and has a total enrollment of 174 students. Despite adequate funding and resources, including a low student-teacher ratio, Everest Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas middle schools and underperforms the district and state averages on state assessments across all subject areas.
Everest Middle's high poverty rate, with 57.47% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the school's academic challenges. However, the school's per-student spending is above the state average, indicating that the issue may lie in the school's instructional practices and strategies rather than a lack of resources. To improve student outcomes, Everest Middle may need to implement targeted interventions, provide professional development for teachers, and develop a comprehensive school improvement plan that addresses the specific needs of its student population.
Overall, the data suggests that Everest Middle is a struggling school that requires significant attention and support to improve student performance and ensure that all students in the South Brown County school district have access to a high-quality education.
