Summary:
The Tonasket School District in Washington state has only one middle school, Tonasket Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state averages, and its overall ranking among Washington middle schools has been declining in recent years.
Tonasket Middle School has an enrollment of 232 students, with a predominantly White (58.62%) and Hispanic (35.78%) student population. A high percentage (84.48%) of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage. Despite the district's higher-than-average spending of $17,596 per student, the school's proficiency rates on the SBAC and WCAS assessments are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 37.62% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 19.7% in math.
The declining performance and low academic achievement at Tonasket Middle School suggest that the school is struggling to improve student outcomes, even with the higher level of funding. This may be due to a combination of socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population and broader systemic issues within the Tonasket School District and the state's education system.
