Summary:

Fort Riley Middle School is a public middle school located on the Fort Riley military base in Kansas, serving 543 students in grades 6-8. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the state, with strong academic achievement across various subjects and grade levels.

Fort Riley Middle School's academic performance is significantly higher than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.76%), Mathematics (39.04%), and Science (43.56%) exceeding the Geary County Schools and Kansas state averages. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.4 to 12.0 students per teacher, and higher spending per student of $11,627 contribute to its ability to provide a quality education.

In comparison to schools in the neighboring Manhattan-Ogden district, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School and Susan B. Anthony Middle School, Fort Riley Middle School's performance is generally lower, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, though its Science performance is on par with these higher-performing schools.

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.
