Stevens Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Washington middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 501-537 out of 512-541 schools over the past several years. The school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC and WCAS assessments, is significantly lower than the Pasco School District and Washington state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.17% of Stevens Middle School students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 33.13% in the Pasco School District and 52.63% statewide. Similarly, in math, only 12.11% of Stevens Middle School students were proficient or better, compared to 22.44% in the Pasco School District and 41.68% statewide.

The nearby middle schools in the Pasco School District, such as Ray Reynolds Middle School and Mcloughlin Middle School, have significantly higher academic performance than Stevens Middle School, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. These schools also have lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.61% to 64.19%, compared to Stevens Middle School's 95-96% range. The high percentage of Hispanic and low-income students at Stevens Middle School may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, and the school's high spending per student suggests that resources are being allocated, but the academic outcomes do not reflect the level of investment.

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.
