Summary

Park Place Middle School is a public school in Monroe, WA, serving about 755 students in grades 6-8 within the Monroe School District, and it has shown significant, positive improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years.

The school is on a clear upward trajectory, having moved from a 2-star to a 3-star rating and improving its rank from the 32nd to the 50th percentile since 2021-22. This progress is notable, especially when compared to some nearby schools like Centennial Middle School, which saw a decline in ranking during a similar period. However, academic proficiency in core subjects like English, Math, and Science remains below both the district and state averages, with the largest gap in Science. An interesting pattern shows 7th-grade English scores dip significantly before recovering in 8th grade, which may point to a challenging transitional year. The school also serves a student population with a higher level of economic need than many area schools, with nearly 47% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When looking at resources, Park Place Middle School has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 19.5-to-1 and increasing per-student spending. Yet, several higher-performing schools in the region, such as Gateway Middle School and Timbercrest Middle School in the Northshore School District, achieve top rankings with similar or even fewer resources, suggesting instructional quality and district support are key factors. A notable comparison exists within its own district, as Hidden River Middle School outperforms Park Place across all subjects while having a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student funding.

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
