Summary:
The Mary Walker School District contains only one middle school, Springdale Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. This school has consistently low rankings within the state of Washington, with a ranking of 478 out of 535 middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Springdale Middle School faces significant challenges, including low academic achievement, with only 32.26% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 12.9% proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students (67.23%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite higher-than-average spending per student, the school's resources do not appear to be effectively allocated to support student learning.
Additionally, Springdale Middle School's student population is predominantly White (65.55%), with relatively low representation of other racial/ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience and prepare students for an increasingly diverse world. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success.
