Summary:
The Manson School District in Washington state serves students from elementary through high school across three schools: Manson Elementary, Manson High School, and Manson Middle School. While Manson High School stands out with a strong 91.2% four-year graduation rate, the district as a whole faces challenges, with all three schools performing below state averages in key academic areas.
Manson Elementary excels in math proficiency, outperforming district and state averages, but struggles in English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, Manson High School and Manson Middle School have lower proficiency rates across the board, with Manson Middle School performing significantly below district and state levels. The district's high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 66.15% to 71.11%, suggest a predominantly low-income student population that may contribute to the academic challenges.
While Manson Elementary spends the most per student at $21,262, and Manson High School has the highest student-teacher ratio at 17.2, these factors do not appear to be the sole drivers of the district's overall poor performance compared to the state. Addressing the Manson School District's challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs and demographics of its student population.
