Summary:
The Clover Park School District in Washington state is home to three middle schools serving grades 6-8: Thomas Middle School, Hudtloff Middle School, and Lochburn Middle School. While the schools share a district, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with Thomas Middle School standing out as the highest-performing and Lochburn Middle School as the lowest-performing.
Thomas Middle School boasts relatively higher test scores, especially in English Language Arts, and a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients compared to the other two schools. In contrast, Lochburn Middle School has significantly lower test scores across all subjects and the highest percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating a high-need student population. The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance within the Clover Park School District.
The stark performance disparities among the three middle schools raise questions about the underlying factors contributing to these differences, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, or other systemic issues within the district. The consistently low performance of Lochburn Middle School, in particular, indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by this school and its student population.
