Summary:
The North Franklin School District has only one middle school, Robert L Olds Junior High School, which serves 327 students from grades 7-8. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to district and state averages.
Robert L Olds Junior High School's struggles are compounded by its high free/reduced lunch rate of 78.59%, indicating a large population of students from low-income households. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic performance issues. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past three years, from 508 out of 541 in 2021-2022 to 461 out of 535 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is not making significant improvements relative to other middle schools in Washington.
Despite the school's diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (68.5%) and smaller percentages of White, Asian, and Native American students, the data does not provide information on academic performance gaps between these racial groups. Further analysis would be necessary to determine if there are any significant disparities in student achievement along racial lines. Overall, the data indicates that Robert L Olds Junior High School faces significant challenges in improving its academic outcomes and meeting the needs of its diverse student population.
