Summary

La Conner Middle is a public middle school serving about 123 students in grades 6-8 within the La Conner School District in Washington state.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with student proficiency in English, Math, and Science consistently below the state average. Performance has trended downward over the past several years. Notably, student scores tend to decline from 6th to 8th grade, particularly in math. The school serves a population where over half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and data shows the school struggles most with supporting these economically disadvantaged students, as well as showing a notable performance gap between male and female students.

What makes La Conner Middle's situation particularly striking is the level of resources it has compared to its results and neighboring schools. It spends over $26,000 per student, which is significantly more than higher-performing nearby schools like Anacortes Middle School and Port Susan Middle School. It also maintains a lower student-to-teacher ratio. For comparison, Coupeville Middle School achieves much higher academic results with a similar grade configuration and moderately lower poverty, but with substantially less funding per student.
