Washington

Summary:

Washington is a middle school in the Cloverdale Unified School District, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 401 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of California middle schools, with a 1-star rating out of 5 for the past several years.

Washington's performance is concerning, with significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to nearby schools like Terrace Middle and Mountain Vista Middle. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are also consistently lower than the Cloverdale Unified School District and the state of California. Additionally, Washington has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the nearby schools also perform poorly compared to state averages, they generally outperform Washington. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1375 out of 2379 California middle schools in 2012-2013 to 2213 out of 2777 in 2023-2024. Addressing the school's challenges will require a comprehensive approach targeting attendance, academic support, and addressing the needs of specific student subgroups.

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.
