Middle Schools in Mount Adams School District

Summary:

This analysis focuses on the single middle school, Mount Adams Middle School, serving grades 7-8 for the Mount Adams School District in Washington.

Mount Adams Middle School faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking at the very bottom of all Washington middle schools for the last three years. Student proficiency rates are critically low in all subjects, especially in mathematics where only about 2% of students met state standards, compared to a state average of over 42%. This pattern of low performance is consistent across both grade levels and is also below the already low district averages.

Notably, the school operates with a very high per-student spending of $25,588, which is substantially above typical state levels, yet this significant investment has not translated into improved academic outcomes. Nearly all students (over 95%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school community faces considerable economic hardship. The persistence of these low rankings over multiple years suggests deep-rooted challenges that require comprehensive, targeted support for students.
