Summary:

In the city of Carson, Washington, there is one public middle school, Wind River Middle School, serving grades 6-8 within the Stevenson-Carson School District.

Wind River Middle School shows a notable pattern where student performance improves significantly by the 8th grade, with those students scoring above state averages in English and Math, while 6th and 7th graders score lower. The school's overall academic rankings have fluctuated in recent years, and its proficiency rates in core subjects are generally below the Washington state average, though they are close to the average for the Stevenson-Carson School District.

The school operates with a high level of per-student funding, spending over $20,000 per student, which is well above the national average. A majority of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This combination of substantial resources and demographic challenges presents a complex picture, where the school's strong finish for 8th graders suggests effective preparation, but earlier grades and overall rankings indicate areas for potential focus and support.
