Hadley Middle School

Summary:

Hadley Middle School is a public middle school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 532 students in grades 6-8. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Kansas middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 322 and 355 out of 343 to 362 middle schools in the state.

Hadley Middle School significantly underperforms compared to the Wichita school district and the state of Kansas in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.02% of Hadley students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 19.95% in Wichita and 33.55% statewide. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Kansas middle schools for White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, Hadley Middle School has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.22% to 90.41% over the past three school years.

When comparing Hadley Middle School to other middle schools in the Wichita district, it is clear that Hadley is one of the lowest-performing schools. For example, Allison Traditional Magnet Middle and Maize South Middle School, which are both within a 5-mile radius of Hadley, significantly outperform Hadley in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels. Hadley Middle School's consistently poor performance indicates a need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and support systems to improve student outcomes.

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.
