Augusta Middle School

Summary:

Augusta Middle School is a public middle school located in Augusta, Kansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 453 students. The school is part of the Augusta District, which is ranked 177 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Augusta Middle School generally underperforms compared to the state average and nearby schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 20.4% in English Language Arts, 18.07% in Mathematics, and 27.33% in Science, compared to the state averages of 33.55%, 31.6%, and 32.28%, respectively. However, the school performs relatively well for Hispanic students, ranking 49th out of 144 Kansas middle schools, and for special education students, ranking 30th out of 164 Kansas middle schools.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Andover Middle School and Andover Central Middle School, which are part of the higher-performing Andover District, Augusta Middle School significantly underperforms across all academic measures. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending compared to nearby schools may also contribute to its academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
