Summary:
The Franklin Pierce School District in Washington state consists of 14 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds and academic performance levels across its schools.
Among the standout schools in the district, James Sales Elementary stands out with its strong state-wide ranking, high test scores, and 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Midland Elementary and Perry G Keithley Middle School struggle with low state rankings and test scores, which may be linked to their high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The small Gates Secondary School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio and 0% dropout rate, but its overall state-wide ranking is the lowest among the district's high schools.
The Franklin Pierce School District as a whole is ranked 208 out of 249 districts in Washington and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a consistently high-quality education across all of its schools. Addressing the disparities in school performance and ensuring equitable access to a quality education for all students should be a top priority for the district.
