Better than 15% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Midway Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 222 students in the Moses Lake School District, a district that faces academic challenges across most of its elementary schools.

Overall, Midway is a lower-performing school, ranking in the bottom 15% of elementary schools in Washington state, though it has shown steady improvement from being in the very bottom tier just a few years ago. Its test scores in English, math, and science are below both district and state averages. The school serves a high number of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, a factor common among the district's lower-ranked schools like Larson Heights Elementary and North Elementary. Interestingly, Midway receives the highest per-student funding in the district, yet it has a higher student-teacher ratio than some nearby schools with better results.

There are notable bright spots and variations within the school. Midway shows exceptional strength in supporting its Hispanic students, who perform significantly above average. Performance also varies greatly by grade, with fifth graders doing relatively well while fourth graders struggle considerably. Compared to its closest neighbor, Park Orchard Elementary, which serves a similar student population, Midway lags behind. However, its recent positive trend suggests potential for growth, especially if it can learn from the district's top performer, Sage Point Elementary School.
