Summary:
Zip code 93618 has one middle school, Washington Intermediate, serving grades 7–8 with 916 students, so families have no other middle school in this list to compare it with; the clearest academic concern is mathematics, where the school was 11 percentage points below the state in 2025–2026.

SchoolDigger’s ranking rose from the 41st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 55th percentile in 2025–2026, and its rating increased from 2 stars to 3. The student-teacher ratio was 20.1 in 2024–2025; 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These figures describe the school’s context, not a cause of its results, and the single-school list does not allow comparisons among local schools.
