Tenino Middle School

Summary:

Tenino Middle School is a public middle school serving 334 students in grades 6-8 in the Tenino School District in Tenino, Washington. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below state and district averages.

Tenino Middle School's academic struggles are evident across several key metrics. Its overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.71%) and Math (26.74%) lag behind the Tenino School District (44.89% and 31.22%, respectively) and the state of Washington (52.63% and 41.68%). The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its Hispanic students performing relatively well (98th out of 344 Washington middle schools) but its White and female students performing poorly (398th and 332nd out of their respective subgroups).

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Yelm Middle School, Ridgeline Middle School, and Tumwater Middle School, Tenino Middle School generally performs worse academically. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (55.99% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and fluctuations in per-student spending may be contributing factors to its challenges.

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.
