Summary:
Hoquiam School District has only one middle school, Hoquiam Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is located in Hoquiam, Washington, a small city on the coast. While the school has a diverse student population, it has consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom half of Washington middle schools with a 1-star rating.
Hoquiam Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 27.64% to 36.79% of students proficient in ELA and 12.17% to 23.08% proficient in math across different grade levels. The school's science proficiency rate of 19.66% for 8th grade is also much lower than the state average of 42.5%. These academic challenges are compounded by the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 74.32% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student at $16,570, Hoquiam Middle School's academic performance remains poor, suggesting a need for more effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement. The school's challenges are not only below the state averages but also lag behind the Hoquiam School District's overall performance, indicating that the issues faced by Hoquiam Middle School may be unique or more pronounced compared to other schools in the district.
