Middle Schools in Washington School District


Summary:

The Washington School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Washington Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces some significant challenges, including lower-than-average academic performance, high poverty levels, and a declining statewide ranking over time.

Academically, Washington Junior High School struggles, with proficiency rates in Math, Science, and ELA falling below both the district and state averages. The school's Math proficiency rate of 18.2% is well below the district's 26.9% and the state's 39.3%. Similarly, the school's Science proficiency of 42.5% lags behind the district's 50.3% and the state's 65.6%. While the school's ELA proficiency of 49.4% is better than the district's 42.3%, it still falls short of the state average of 53.8%. This suggests the need for the school to focus on improving student learning and achievement.

Socioeconomic challenges also appear to be a significant factor, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of poverty likely contributes to the school's academic struggles and highlights the need for additional support and resources to address the unique needs of the student population. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a diverse student body, with a mix of White, African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students, which could be an asset if the school can ensure equitable educational opportunities for all.
