Summary:
Brewster School District in Washington contains one middle school, Brewster Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 for approximately 224 students in a community with high economic need.
This school shows notable strengths in certain areas, particularly in science, where its proficiency rate of 34.67% exceeds the Brewster School District average. English Language Arts (ELA) performance also improves steadily from 6th to 8th grade, with 7th and 8th graders coming closer to state averages. However, the school faces significant challenges overall, with proficiency rates in math, ELA, and science all below Washington state averages, and its state ranking has fluctuated in the bottom 30% of middle schools in recent years.
With over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with considerable economic disadvantage. While per-student spending is near the national average, academic gaps persist, highlighting the complex challenges the school navigates. For parents, the key points are the school's relative strength in science within the district, the clear progress students make in ELA through middle school, and the ongoing need for support in foundational math skills, especially in the 6th and 8th grades.
