Summary:
Deer Park School District has one middle school, Deer Park Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is located in Deer Park, Washington, a small town in the eastern part of the state. Deer Park Middle School stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts (ELA), with proficiency rates consistently above the district and state averages. However, the school faces some challenges in Math and Science, where its proficiency rates are more mixed, with Math scores slightly above the district but below the state, and Science scores below both the district and state.
Deer Park Middle School serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 58.12% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may present unique challenges for the school and require targeted support. Despite these challenges, the school appears to be well-resourced, with a relatively high spending per student of $14,149 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.3, which may be contributing to its academic performance.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 138th out of 541 Washington middle schools in 2021-2022 to 181st out of 539 in 2022-2023, and currently ranking 180th out of 535 for the 2023-2024 school year. These ranking changes may be influenced by the performance of other middle schools in the state or shifts in Deer Park Middle School's own academic outcomes.
