Colville Junior High School

Summary:

Colville Junior High School is a public middle school in Colville, Washington, serving 370 students in grades 6-8. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency, placing it in the top half of middle schools in Washington. However, the school's predominantly white student population and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students highlight the need for equitable access and support for all students.

Colville Junior High School's strong academic performance is a key differentiator, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages across all subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate was 56.28%, compared to the state's 52.63%, and its Math proficiency rate was 47.25%, compared to the state's 41.68%. The school's Science proficiency, as measured by the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science, was also higher than the state average at 55.46% versus 49.73%. This consistent academic excellence suggests the school is effectively supporting student learning and achievement.

In comparison, Kettle Falls Middle School, located approximately 8.55 miles from Colville Junior High School, generally underperforms in academic proficiency, with lower percentages of students meeting or exceeding standards across all grade levels and subject areas. Kettle Falls Middle School also serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 67.93% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to Colville Junior High School's 60.54%. This comparison highlights the regional differences in student demographics and academic performance, which may warrant further investigation into the factors contributing to the performance gap and the allocation of resources to support student success across the Kettle Falls School District.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
