Summary

Washington Intermediate School is a public middle school located in Pekin, Illinois, serving grades 4-6 with a student population of 408. It is part of the Pekin PSD 108 district.

While Washington Intermediate School outperforms the district in English Language Arts and mathematics proficiency, it lags behind in science. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to improve student attendance. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a factor in its academic performance and attendance challenges.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Broadmoor Junior High School and Edison Junior High School, Washington Intermediate School has the highest spending per student, indicating that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population. This highlights the importance of analyzing individual school data to identify unique strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement within the Pekin PSD 108 district.

What people are saying

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

In Pekin, this is the school for your children to go to in 4-6 grade for many reasons. All the staff treats you with respect, and very helpful to any needs your family may have. The staff takes pride in the students and school. The principle worked with special needs children for many years before coming to Washington, that shows very well with patience concerning the children and parents at Washington. The Assistant Principle is also very fair and to the book when it comes to problems that may arise and has good communication with the children and parents. He is very down to earth and is a excellent role model. The teachers at Washington are a big reason I rate this school so high. Most teachers are continuing their educations and have access to the newest ways to teach to keep up with the 21st Century world.

There are many activities at Washington from Chess Teams, to Choir and Science Clubs.

I will be sad when my youngest finishes here in a few years. Close Quote
