Summary:
The Prosser School District in Washington has only one middle school, Housel Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Housel Middle School appears to be a low-performing school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of middle schools in the state over the past three years and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Housel Middle School has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic (69.44%) and economically disadvantaged (82.64% receive free or reduced-price lunch) students. However, the school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts (31.51% proficiency vs. 52.63% state average) and Math (21.97% proficiency vs. 41.68% state average). Despite higher-than-average spending per student ($16,439), the school's test scores remain consistently low, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
The data indicates that Prosser School District and Housel Middle School face significant challenges in improving student performance. Addressing the underlying factors, such as socioeconomic disadvantages and targeted academic support, may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements in the school's performance and provide a better educational experience for the students.
