Summary:
The Erie-Galesburg district in Kansas has only one middle school, Galesburg Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school is publicly funded and has been ranked by SchoolDigger, a website that evaluates and ranks schools based on various metrics.
Galesburg Middle School is not a standout performer, ranking 197 out of 362 Kansas middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state and district averages, and its performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, suggesting smaller class sizes, and a high percentage of students (66.3%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Despite the relatively high spending per student of $10,504 for the 2018-2019 school year, the school's academic performance remains low. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to improve student outcomes. Overall, the data analysis suggests that Galesburg Middle School is a low-performing middle school within the Erie-Galesburg district, and the school's challenges may require a comprehensive approach to address the underlying factors contributing to its poor academic performance.
