Summary:
The East Valley School District (Yakima) in Washington has only one middle school, East Valley Central Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Based on the available data, this middle school appears to be an average or below-average performer compared to other middle schools in the state.
East Valley Central Middle School struggles to meet academic standards, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science falling below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 70.91% indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which can present additional challenges. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 18.3 to 1 is relatively high, potentially impacting the level of individual attention and support available to students.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $14,127, its consistent low rankings among other Washington middle schools, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating for the past three years, suggest that the additional funding may not be effectively utilized to improve academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that East Valley Central Middle School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address its academic performance gaps.
