Summary:
The Wendell District in Idaho has only one middle school, Wendell Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Idaho middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is a low-performing school within the district and the state.
Wendell Middle School faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty, and limited funding. The school's ISAT proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts are substantially below the district and state averages, suggesting substantial achievement gaps between this school and others in the region. With a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (62.17%) and a high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients (59.24%), the school may also face challenges related to socioeconomic factors and English language learners.
The school's spending per student of $7,016 is below the state average, which may contribute to the difficulties the school faces in improving academic outcomes. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement, focusing on areas such as instructional quality, student support services, and resource allocation.
