Summary:
The Clifton-Clyde Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Clifton-Clyde area, providing education for grades 4-8. While the school has some strengths, such as exceeding the state average in 5th grade English Language Arts and overall science proficiency, it faces challenges, particularly in mathematics performance, where it significantly underperforms the state average.
Clifton-Clyde Middle School's statewide ranking has declined from 126 out of 362 Kansas middle schools in 2022-2023 to 203 out of 362 in 2023-2024, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other middle schools in the state. The school serves a relatively high-need population, with 42.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed.
Despite the school's adequate resources, including a spending per student of $11,453 and a student-teacher ratio of 13:1, the data suggests the need for targeted interventions and strategies to support student learning and improve academic outcomes, particularly in the area of mathematics. By addressing these areas of concern, the school can work to enhance the educational experience and opportunities for the students in the Clifton-Clyde community.
