While Humboldt Middle School is the sole middle school option for families in the area, its academic performance is significantly below the state average across key subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Humboldt Middle School is ranked 283 out of 362 Kansas middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and is rated just 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

In Mathematics, just 17.77% of students were proficient, well below the 31.6% state average. The school's Science proficiency rate of 9.52% is also far behind the 32.28% state benchmark. With over 52% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges that may contribute to these academic struggles.

While the student-teacher ratio at Humboldt Middle School is slightly lower than the state average at 13.6, the school's per-student spending of $5,114 is relatively low, potentially limiting the resources available to support student learning. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 320 out of 368 Kansas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 283 out of 362 in 2023-2024, suggests it is not keeping pace with improvements in other middle schools across the state. Targeted interventions and additional support may be needed to help Humboldt Middle School improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for the community.
