Summary

Angelo Giaudrone Middle School is a public school in the Tacoma School District serving about 450 students in grades 6-8, located in a high-need area where a significant majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science consistently below both district and state averages; math scores, in particular, show a concerning drop as students move from 6th to 8th grade. While the school spends more per student than most other middle schools in the Tacoma School District, this higher funding has not yet led to improved academic rankings, which have declined over the past decade and currently place it in the bottom tier of Washington middle schools.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal important context. Within the same district, schools like Hilltop Heritage Middle School and Wainwright Intermediate School serve similar student populations but achieve significantly better results, while others like Gray Middle School perform similarly. A dramatic performance gap exists with schools in the neighboring University Place School District, such as Drum Intermediate and Narrows View Intermediate, which rank much higher. This suggests that factors beyond just demographics and funding significantly impact educational outcomes in the region.
