Middle Schools in Central Kitsap School District

The Central Kitsap School District in Washington state is home to three middle schools: Ridgetop Middle School, Central Kitsap Middle School, and Fairview Middle School. Among these, Ridgetop Middle School stands out as the top performer, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages, as well as the highest SchoolDigger ranking among the three schools.

In contrast, Fairview Middle School appears to be the weakest performer, with the lowest proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels, as well as the lowest SchoolDigger ranking. The district also faces concerns about equity, as Fairview Middle School, which serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, has the lowest academic performance, indicating that more support may be needed to ensure all students have access to a quality education.

Interestingly, the data shows that higher per-student spending does not necessarily translate to better academic performance, as Fairview Middle School, which has the highest spending, has the lowest test scores, while Ridgetop Middle School, with lower per-student spending, has the highest performance. The district as a whole has also seen a decline in its SchoolDigger rankings over the past three years, suggesting that it may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving student outcomes.
