Summary:
Ritzville School District contains one middle school, Lind Ritzville Middle School, serving grades 6-8 with 89 students in a rural area of Washington state.
This school faces significant challenges, as indicated by its 1-star rating and a concerning decline in its statewide ranking to the 15th percentile. Academic proficiency is below both the Ritzville School District and state averages across all core subjects, with particularly low scores in mathematics (18.6% proficient) and science (20.59% proficient). The school's performance has worsened over recent years, dropping from the 24th percentile last year.
Key factors likely impacting the school include an extremely high student-teacher ratio of nearly 40-to-1 and a per-student spending level far below typical state averages. While the district overall maintains a 3-star rating, the middle school's struggles highlight a specific area of need. Parents should note the resource constraints and consistent academic underperformance, which suggest the school may require substantial additional support to improve student outcomes.
