Summary

Washington Intermediate is a public middle school serving about 916 students in grades 7-8 within the Dinuba Unified district, showing a strong and improving academic trajectory despite serving a community with significant economic need.

The school has clear strengths, particularly in English Language Arts where it outperforms both its district and the state average, and it excels at supporting English Language Learner and migrant students, earning very high statewide rankings for these groups. It also maintains a notably lower rate of chronic student absences than most nearby schools, including Abraham Lincoln Middle and Parlier Junior High. Furthermore, it benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than several comparison schools like Ridgeview Middle and Rafer Johnson Junior High.

Areas for growth include mathematics, where proficiency is below district and state averages, mirroring a challenge seen at many local middle schools. While Navelencia Middle and General Grant Middle in the higher-performing Kings Canyon Joint Unified district score higher academically, Washington Intermediate performs well against schools with similar demographics and has shown impressive recovery in attendance and ELA scores since the pandemic.
