Summary

Sadie Halstead Middle School is a public school serving about 272 students in grades 5 through 8 in Newport, Washington, as part of the Newport School District.

Academic performance at Sadie Halstead Middle School has declined significantly over the past decade, with its statewide ranking falling from well above average to well below average. While the school's fifth graders often start strong, performing near or above state averages in some subjects, proficiency rates drop sharply by eighth grade in English, math, and science. It's important to note there are no other middle schools within a 20-mile radius for direct local comparison, so this analysis is based on statewide measures.

Despite a high rate of economic disadvantage among students, the school shows relative strength in serving this subgroup compared to its overall performance. Recent years have seen increased per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, which are potential resources for supporting improvement. The key challenge appears to be sustaining early academic success through the middle school years.
