Summary:
The East Valley School District (Spokane) in Washington has only one middle school, East Valley Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science falling well below district and state averages.
East Valley Middle School has a student population that is predominantly low-income, with 71.26% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a student-teacher ratio slightly above the recommended level, the school's academic performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 345 out of 541 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 449 out of 535 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively utilize its resources to support student learning and address the needs of its low-income student population.
The data analysis highlights the need for a comprehensive review of East Valley Middle School's educational practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. With only one middle school in the district, the success of this school is crucial for the educational opportunities available to students in the East Valley School District (Spokane) area.
