Summary:
The Zillah School District in Washington state has only one middle school, Zillah Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and has 311 students. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 265th out of 539 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 366th out of 535 in 2023-2024, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Zillah Middle School struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.94%), Math (30.87%), and Science (23.28%) all falling significantly below the state averages of 52.63%, 41.68%, and 49.73%, respectively. This underperformance is particularly concerning given that the school serves a high percentage (69.77%) of economically disadvantaged students, who may require additional support and resources to succeed.
Despite the school's academic challenges, the district spends $12,645 per student at Zillah Middle School, which is higher than the state average. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the district's resource allocation and the need to explore strategies to better support student learning and achievement at the school.
