Summary:
The Rochester School District in Washington state has only one middle school, Rochester Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a diverse student population, with a majority of White and Hispanic students, its academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
Rochester Middle School stands out for its high percentage of students (61.41%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. However, the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 17:1 is relatively low. Over the past three years, the school's statewide ranking has improved, moving from 293rd out of 541 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 213th out of 535 middle schools in 2023-2024, with a 3-star rating.
While Rochester Middle School may not be a clear standout in the district, the data suggests that the school is making progress in addressing the needs of its diverse student population. The school's improving ranking and relatively low student-teacher ratio indicate that the additional resources being invested in the school may be paying off. However, continued efforts to support student success and address any underlying factors that may be impacting academic performance could further enhance the school's outcomes.
