Summary:
The Castle Rock School District in Washington state has only one middle school, Castle Rock Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, it has consistently struggled with low academic performance, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
Castle Rock Middle School has a student population of 348, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (83.62%) and a high percentage of students (55.46%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.9 is slightly higher than the state average, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data suggests that Castle Rock Middle School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic needs of its students, such as professional development for teachers, implementation of evidence-based instructional strategies, and the provision of additional resources and support for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. By addressing these areas, the school may be able to improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of the local community.
