Summary:

Ray Reynolds Middle School is a public middle school in Pasco, Washington, serving 1,262 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Pasco School District, which is ranked 214 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ray Reynolds Middle School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (41.52%) and Math (31.55%) are significantly below the state averages (52.63% and 41.68%, respectively). Additionally, the school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (58.4%) compared to the state average (22.7%), and a lower percentage of White students (33.99%) compared to the state average (46.5%). This racial diversity is not reflected in the school's academic performance, as White and multi-racial students perform relatively better, while English Language Learners and Special Education students perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom 15% of Washington middle schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Ray Reynolds' academic performance is generally better than the other Pasco School District middle schools, but significantly lower than the Kennewick and Richland School District middle schools, such as Desert Hills Middle School, Enterprise Middle School, and Chinook Middle School. This suggests that the Pasco School District may face greater challenges in supporting student achievement compared to its neighboring districts.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
