Summary:
The Orting School District in Washington state has only one middle school, Orting Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Despite the district's relatively high spending of $15,610 per student, Orting Middle School has consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom third of Washington middle schools for the past three years.
Orting Middle School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, math, and science all falling well below the state averages. The school's math proficiency rates, ranging from 22.77% to 26.21%, are particularly low compared to the state average of around 40%. Additionally, the school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for two of the past three years indicates it is struggling to meet academic standards and needs to implement substantial improvements to raise student achievement.
While Orting Middle School's student population is diverse, with a significant percentage of Hispanic and multiracial students, the school's low performance suggests it may not be effectively meeting the needs of its diverse learners. The high spending per student at the district level also raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources to support student learning and success at Orting Middle School.
