Summary:
East Washington School Corp has only one middle school, East Washington Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school is located in a predominantly white community, with 93.73% of its 415 students identifying as white. However, academic performance at the school is a concern, as proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies fall significantly below state averages across all grade levels.
East Washington Middle School's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.2% is higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes. Additionally, over 50% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $10,343, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate how its resources are being allocated to better support student learning and achievement.
Overall, the data suggests that East Washington School Corp faces several challenges in ensuring that its only middle school is effectively serving the needs of its students. Addressing issues related to academic performance, student demographics, attendance, and resource allocation will be crucial for the school and district to improve educational outcomes and provide a high-quality learning environment for all students.
