Summary:
Douglass Public Schools in Kansas has only one middle school, Marvin Sisk Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school is ranked 131 out of 362 Kansas middle schools, it has received a rating of only 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating it is not a standout performer in the Douglass Public Schools district or the state.
Marvin Sisk Middle School's performance on standardized tests, such as the KAP (Kansas Assessment Program), is generally below the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27.55%) and Mathematics (25.97%) were lower than the Douglass Public Schools district (36.22% and 37.62%, respectively) and the state of Kansas (33.55% and 31.6%, respectively). However, the school's proficiency rates in Science (43.58%) were higher than the district (42.14%) and state (32.28%) averages.
The school's high free and reduced lunch rate of 50.34% in the 2022-2023 school year suggests a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, which may indicate the need for additional resources and support. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 in the 2022-2023 school year could be a positive factor, but it does not seem to be translating into improved academic performance.
