Summary

Chase Middle School is a public school serving about 685 students in grades 6-8 in Spokane, Washington, performing as a stable, mid-tier school within the broader Spokane School District.

Academically, Chase performs close to state averages in English and Math, with about half of students proficient, though Science scores are an area for improvement. The school serves a diverse student population and achieves stronger academic results than several nearby schools with similar or higher levels of economic need, such as Denny Yasuhara Middle School and Shaw Middle School, suggesting effective support for its community. However, it sits in a district with a wide performance range, notably below higher-performing neighbors like Carla Peperzak Middle School and Sacajawea Middle School.

Key insights show Chase uses its resources efficiently compared to some peers and has historical strengths in supporting certain student groups. An interesting finding is that 6th graders recently outperformed older grades in Math, which is uncommon. While the school's statewide ranking has gradually declined over the past decade, it remains a consistent performer, effectively navigating the challenges within its district and outperforming comparable schools in neighboring districts like North Pines Middle School in the Central Valley School District.
