Summary:
The city of Long Island, Kansas has only one public middle school, Long Island Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 with an enrollment of 36 students. The school is part of the Northern Valley school district, which is ranked 94 out of 266 districts in the state.
Long Island Middle School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 238 out of 368 Kansas middle schools in 2018-2019 to 300 out of 368 in 2021-2022, and most recently 89 out of 362 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, but often higher than the Northern Valley district averages. The school has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 69.44%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be performing better than its broader district context. The school's spending per student of $14,133 in 2018-2019 is lower than the national average, which could be a factor in its performance. Additionally, as a very small school with only 36 students, Long Island Middle School may face unique challenges and opportunities in terms of teaching, learning, and resource allocation.
