Best Middle Schools in Zip Code 99344

Summary:

There is only one middle school located in zip code 99344 - McFarland Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and has a student population of 720, with a high percentage (90.83%) of Hispanic students. Unfortunately, McFarland Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Washington middle schools, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly underperforming the state averages in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels.

The school's academic challenges are likely exacerbated by the high percentage (85.56%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $14,950, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school. Additionally, the lack of racial/ethnic diversity, with a predominant Hispanic student population, may also be a factor in the school's performance.

Overall, the data suggests that Othello School District and McFarland Middle School are facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. Addressing the root causes of the school's poor performance, such as resource allocation, student demographics, and teaching practices, will be crucial in improving outcomes for the students.
