Summary

Warden Middle School is a public middle school serving 227 students in grades 6-8 in the rural Warden School District, which faces significant challenges as one of the lower-performing districts in the state.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English, math, and science are substantially below state averages, with math and science being particular areas of concern. When compared to nearby middle schools like Frontier Middle School and Columbia Middle School in the higher-ranked Moses Lake School District, Warden's performance is lower across all subjects. Interestingly, the school maintains a lower student-to-teacher ratio than these neighboring schools, but this has not translated to stronger academic outcomes.

The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, similar to McFarland Middle School in the Othello School District, yet McFarland outperforms Warden. Historical data shows the school has strengths in supporting certain student groups, such as migrant students, but overall performance has remained in the bottom tier of Washington middle schools for the past several years.
