Lansing Middle 6-8

Summary:

Lansing Middle 6-8 is a high-performing public middle school serving 635 students in grades 6-8 in Lansing, Kansas, which is part of the Lansing school district. The school consistently ranks in the top 20% of Kansas middle schools, with strong academic outcomes across all grade levels.

Lansing Middle 6-8 stands out for its academic performance, outpacing the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. The school also performs exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 10 in the state for African American students and the top 20 for multi-racial students. However, the school's performance for students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds is more mixed, indicating an area for potential improvement. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1, the school's efficient use of resources likely contributes to its academic success.

Compared to nearby schools, Lansing Middle 6-8 significantly outperforms Robert E. Clark Middle School in Bonner Springs and the middle schools in the Kansas City, Kansas district, which generally perform well below the state average. The school's performance in its gifted and talented program has been inconsistent, suggesting room for improvement in challenging its highest-performing students. However, Lansing Middle 6-8 stands out in its support for military-connected students, ranking in the top 3 in the state for this subgroup, likely due to the school's proximity to Fort Leavenworth and the large military presence in the area.

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.
