Summary

Park Place Middle School serves 755 students in grades 6–8 in Monroe, Washington, a community in the Monroe School District, which ranks 73rd of 238 Washington districts. The school’s current ranking is 262nd of 514 middle schools, placing it near the statewide midpoint at the 49th percentile. Its ranking has improved considerably from 366th in 2021–22, although it has changed little over the past two years.

Park Place’s latest proficiency rates are 45.58% in English language arts, 37.94% in math, and 41.36% in science—below both district and state averages in each subject. Science is the largest schoolwide concern, while seventh-grade math is a relative strength: 44.19% of seventh graders were proficient, slightly above the state rate. Sixth- and eighth-grade math were weaker. Results have improved over four years, especially in math and science, but the overall trend is mixed. The school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 19.5:1, and 46.75% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating greater economic need than most nearby comparison schools.

The most useful local comparison is Hidden River Middle School, also in Monroe: it exceeded Park Place by 11.13 points in ELA, 5.49 points in math, and 10.86 points in science, while having a lower student-teacher ratio. Several schools in higher-ranked districts perform substantially better, including Gateway Middle School and Timbercrest Middle School, both of which had proficiency rates near or above 70% in all three subjects. Park Place’s key improvement priorities are science, sixth- and eighth-grade math, and support for English language learners, students from low-income backgrounds, and students receiving special education services.

Saturday, January 26, 2019

this is the worst place. They taught us about mythical creatures in Social Studies, we watched a movie where people had a one night stand, and overall i did not have a good experience. There are drug deals out on the field, and multiple times people have been suspended/expelled for doing drugs in the bathroom. DO NOT GO HERE. Close Quote
