Middle Schools in North Beach School District No. 64

The North Beach School District No. 64 in Washington state has only one middle school, North Beach Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school faces significant challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments and a ranking in the bottom quarter of middle schools in the state.

North Beach Junior High School has a student population of 162, with a diverse racial makeup that includes 55.56% White, 14.2% Hispanic, and 11.73% Native American students. However, the school's academic performance is well below the district and state averages, with only 31.82% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 20.45% proficient in math. The school's science proficiency rate of 43.64% is also slightly below the district and state averages. These low test scores suggest that the school may be struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students.

The high percentage of students (78.4%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which can impact student learning and achievement. While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly above the recommended range, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. Overall, the data suggests that North Beach Junior High School is a low-performing school that needs to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
