Washington

Public Grades 5-8

of 2,761 California Middle Schools

Better than 18% of California middle schools

Summary

Washington is a public middle school serving 393 students in grades 5-8 within the Cloverdale Unified district, which ranks in the bottom quartile of districts statewide.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with only about 28% of students proficient in English and 13% in math, well below state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past decade. While the school spends more per student than some neighbors like Terrace Middle and Mountain Vista Middle, it does not see corresponding academic gains. However, there are bright spots: chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, and the school shows notable success with specific student groups, such as English Learners and migrant students, who perform well above the school's average.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal stark differences; Healdsburg Junior High, in the higher-ranked Healdsburg Unified district, achieves much stronger results with greater funding. Washington also shows unusual grade-level patterns in math, with 7th-grade proficiency being a particular low point. The school's favorable student-teacher ratio has not translated to better overall outcomes, suggesting challenges may lie in curriculum or instructional quality rather than resources alone.
