Summary:
This analysis covers middle schools in the 93618 zip code (Dinuba, California), which includes one school, Washington Intermediate, serving grades 7-8 within the Dinuba Unified district.
Washington Intermediate shows clear strengths in English Language Arts, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages, and in maintaining strong student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate notably lower than its peers. However, mathematics proficiency is a significant challenge, lagging behind the district and state, with a noticeable drop in performance from 7th to 8th grade.
Despite serving a student population where a high percentage qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has shown impressive improvement, jumping from a 2-star to a 3-star rating in the latest state rankings. Its science scores, while below the state average, are stronger than the district's. The combination of better-than-average attendance, strength in ELA, and recent ranking improvement suggests a positive school environment with specific areas, particularly math, that could benefit from focused support.
