Washington Middle School

Summary:

Washington Middle School is a public middle school located in Glendive, Montana, serving 243 students in grades 6-8. While the school has a predominantly White student population, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, consistently lags behind the state and local district averages.

According to the data, Washington Middle School's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, ranging from 15.65% to 33.62% compared to the state's 36.59% to 46.03%. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of Montana middle schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's student-teacher ratio has improved in recent years, decreasing from 13.4 to 11.4 students per teacher, which is lower than the state average.

The consistent underperformance of Washington Middle School is a significant concern, suggesting that the school may face challenges in providing effective instruction and support to its students. Further investigation into the school's resources, teaching quality, student engagement, and community support could provide valuable insights into the root causes of the school's performance issues and potential areas for improvement.

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.
