Summary:
The North Mason School District has only one middle school, Hawkins Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been consistently low, with test scores and rankings well below the state averages. Hawkins Middle School's student population is diverse, with a significant Hispanic representation, but the academic outcomes do not appear to be equitable across different racial and ethnic groups.
Hawkins Middle School has struggled with low test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (31.79%) and Math (28.41%) that are significantly lower than the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. The school's ranking has also been consistently in the bottom quartile of Washington middle schools, indicating persistent challenges in academic achievement. These issues may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students (46.84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.
The data highlights opportunities for the North Mason School District and Hawkins Middle School to focus on improving instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to support student learning and close achievement gaps. Addressing the school's low performance and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students should be a priority for the district, as they work to provide a high-quality education for the middle school students in the area.
