Summary:
The Santa Fe Trail district in Kansas has only one middle school, Carbondale Attendance Center. While the school is not a standout performer, ranking 173 out of 362 Kansas middle schools, it provides important insights into the educational landscape of the area.
Carbondale Attendance Center's test scores are generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.44% to 40.53%, compared to the state averages of 22.34% to 43.34%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (46.94%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly lower than the state average.
The data suggests that Carbondale Attendance Center's performance has been declining over the past three school years, with its ranking and star rating dropping from 193 out of 362 schools and a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to 173 out of 362 schools and a 3-star rating in 2023-2024. This trend, coupled with the significant gaps in proficiency rates between the school and the state, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges faced by the school community.
