Jardine Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. For the 2023-2024 school year, Jardine's proficiency rates were 18.7% in ELA, 19.31% in Math, and 16.74% in Science, compared to the state averages of 33.55%, 31.6%, and 32.28%, respectively. The school's student subgroups also show varying levels of performance, with African American and Multi-racial students performing relatively better than other subgroups, but still lagging behind the state averages. Notably, the school's Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner student populations perform significantly below the state averages in these subgroups.

When comparing Jardine Middle School to other middle schools in the Topeka Public Schools district, it becomes evident that Jardine is one of the lower-performing schools. For example, Landon Middle School and Marjorie French Middle School, which are also in the Topeka district, consistently outperform Jardine in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels. Jardine Middle School's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 78.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely plays a significant role in 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.
