There is only one middle school located in the South Brown County area of Kansas - Everest Middle. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas middle schools, with below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. The school faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Everest Middle has struggled to translate its resources into strong academic outcomes for students. The school's ranking has declined from 258th out of 362 middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year to 308th out of 362 in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a need for improvement in student achievement.
Further investigation is needed to understand the specific factors contributing to Everest Middle's low performance, such as curriculum, teaching practices, or school leadership. Exploring the relationship between the school's socioeconomic demographics and its academic performance, as well as analyzing how the school's resources are being utilized, could provide valuable insights to help the school and district develop targeted strategies for improving the educational experience and outcomes for students.
