Middle Schools in West Central CUSD 235


Summary:

West Central Middle School is underperforming compared to state averages, with proficiency rates of just 18.5% in English Language Arts and 6.9% in Mathematics for the 2023-2024 school year, far below the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4% respectively. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past few years, with single-digit proficiency rates in Mathematics and low teens to low 30s for ELA. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively small class size with a student-teacher ratio of 12.9, and its per-student spending of $12,114 for the 2022-2023 school year is higher than the state average. However, these additional resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved student outcomes, suggesting that the school may be facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed through targeted interventions and support programs.
