Summary:
Naches Valley School District has only one middle school, Naches Valley Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is a concern, as its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently below the state averages. Despite higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state, the school has been ranked in the bottom third of Washington middle schools for the past three years.
Naches Valley Middle School's demographic makeup is predominantly White (70.63%) and Hispanic (25.82%), with lower percentages of African American (0.76%) and Asian (0.51%) students compared to the state. The school also has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 57.97%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. These factors may contribute to the school's academic challenges and suggest potential issues with equity and access for underrepresented minority groups.
Overall, the data analysis reveals that Naches Valley Middle School is facing significant challenges in academic achievement, with proficiency rates consistently lagging behind state averages. The school's demographic composition, resource allocation, and statewide ranking all indicate areas for potential improvement and further investigation to better understand the root causes of the school's underperformance and develop strategies to support student learning and success.
