Brewster Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently lower-than-average standardized test scores in English Language Arts (ELA), Math, and Science compared to the state. The school has a high percentage of Hispanic students (around 90%) and a very low percentage of White students (around 7-9%). While Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform better than the overall school, White students and female students perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Washington middle schools.

The school's academic performance has been declining over the past decade, with its statewide ranking dropping from the top 75% of Washington middle schools in 2012-2013 to the bottom 30% in recent years. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices and resources. Nearby Bridgeport Middle School, which is part of the Bridgeport School District, performs even worse than Brewster Middle School across various academic metrics, indicating that the challenges faced by Brewster Middle School may be reflective of broader regional or district-level issues that need to be addressed.

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.
