Summary:

The city of Carson, Washington, served by the Stevenson-Carson School District, has two public schools—Carson Elementary School and Wind River Middle School—which together educate about 476 students from kindergarten through 8th grade.

Carson Elementary School is the larger of the two, with 290 students and a lower student-teacher ratio, while over 65% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need. Wind River Middle School serves 186 students, with just over half qualifying for lunch assistance, and it has shown notable performance variability in recent state rankings.

Key insights show that while Wind River Middle School spends over $20,000 per student, its test scores generally trail state averages, particularly in math; however, its 8th graders excel in English, outperforming the state. The school's ranking has fluctuated, and both schools face the challenge of supporting a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds across the Stevenson-Carson School District.
