Summary:
The Sultan School District in Washington state has only one middle school, Sultan Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school faces some challenges, particularly in its declining ranking among other middle schools in the state and its underperformance in math and science compared to state averages.
Sultan Middle School's English Language Arts proficiency rates are above the state average, especially in 6th grade, suggesting the school has effective strategies for teaching ELA. However, the school's math and science proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages, with all-grade math proficiency at 30.17% compared to 41.68% statewide, and all-grade science proficiency at 33.07% compared to 49.73% statewide. This indicates that the school may need to focus on improving its math and science instruction and curriculum.
With over 57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Sultan Middle School likely faces socioeconomic challenges that can impact student performance. The school's relatively high spending per student ($16,952) may be an effort to address these challenges, but the declining ranking over the past three years suggests that more work may be needed to improve student outcomes and the school's performance relative to other middle schools in Washington.
