West Carroll Middle School faces some academic and operational challenges, particularly in the area of mathematics proficiency, where the school's rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is more varied, with the 8th-grade rate being much higher than the overall school average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0%, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.
Despite spending $13,261 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic performance remains below state levels, suggesting potential areas for improvement in resource allocation and utilization. Furthermore, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement. Targeted interventions and further investigation into the root causes of these challenges may be necessary to improve the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
