Summary:
The Lind School District is a small, rural district in Washington serving about 170 students across three schools: Lind Elementary School (PK-5), Lind-Ritzville Middle School (6-8), and Lind-Ritzville High School (9-12).
Among these schools, Lind Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, with test scores above the district average in all subjects and a history of improvement; its 3rd grade English scores even exceed the state average. In contrast, Lind-Ritzville Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with notably low proficiency rates, especially in math, despite having the most resources and smallest class sizes in the district. Comprehensive data for Lind-Ritzville High School is limited, though its past graduation rate was near the state average.
Overall, the district's academic performance trails state averages, and a key concern is the sharp drop in student achievement between elementary and middle school. Economic disadvantage is high across all schools and increases with grade level. The elementary school's success shows potential within the district, suggesting that understanding and addressing the middle school's specific challenges could help improve outcomes for all students.
