Daybreak Middle

Summary:

Daybreak Middle is a public middle school in Battle Ground, WA, serving 424 students in grades 5-8. It is part of the Battle Ground School District, which is ranked 87 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 3-star rating.

Daybreak Middle faces several key challenges. Its academic performance, as measured by test scores, lags behind the district and state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 45.1% of Daybreak Middle students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 51.62% for the district and 52.63% for the state. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 46.23% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Daybreak Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington middle schools, with a ranking of 320 out of 535 schools in 2023-2024 and a 2-star rating.

However, the school does have some bright spots. Its Hispanic students and special education students perform relatively better compared to their peers at the school, with higher rankings in the state. When compared to other middle schools in the area, such as Pleasant Valley Middle and Chief Umtuch Middle, both in the Battle Ground School District, Daybreak Middle generally underperforms. Addressing the school's challenges in areas like teacher quality, curriculum, and student support services will be crucial for improving student outcomes and providing a high-quality education for its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
