Middle Schools in Blue Valley

The Blue Valley school district in Kansas has only one middle school, Randolph Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, its academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages.

Randolph Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics lag behind the Blue Valley and Kansas state averages, with only 7.14% of 6th graders proficient in those subjects. However, the school excels in Science, with 59.45% of students scoring proficient or better across all grades. This strong Science performance may be attributed to the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.2.

Despite the investment in resources, Randolph Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 106th out of 367 Kansas middle schools in 2020-2021 to 144th out of 362 in 2022-2023. The school's racial makeup is also predominantly White, which may warrant further investigation into its efforts to promote diversity and inclusion. Overall, the data suggests that Randolph Middle School has room for improvement in its academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, to better serve its student population.
