Summary:

The Auburn School District in Washington serves middle school students (grades 6-8) across four similarly sized schools, all of which perform below state averages in core academic subjects.

Among these schools, Mt Baker Middle School stands out as the highest performer, ranking in the 39th percentile statewide with the strongest test scores in English, math, and science, while Olympic Middle School faces the greatest challenges, ranking in the bottom 15% of schools with notably low math proficiency. The other two schools, Cascade Middle School and Rainier Middle School, fall in between, with Cascade experiencing a significant decline in its statewide ranking over recent years.

Overall, the Auburn School District ranks in the 34th percentile in Washington, and its middle schools trail state averages by roughly 10 percentage points in every subject. While per-student spending is similar across the schools, outcomes vary, with Mt Baker achieving better results. A common pattern is that 8th graders tend to perform best in English, while 6th graders often score highest in math across the district.
