Summary:
The Cle Elum-Roslyn School District has one middle school, Walter Strom Middle School, serving grades 6-8 with about 206 students, and it operates within a district that is highly rated statewide.
Walter Strom Middle School shows notable strengths, particularly in English Language Arts where students consistently perform above the state average. The school is part of a district ranked in the 77th percentile, indicating a generally strong educational environment. However, a clear pattern emerges as students advance: while 6th graders perform very well in both math and reading, scores decline significantly by 8th grade, especially in mathematics. Science scores also trail behind both district and state averages.
Overall, the school maintains a steady, middle-tier state ranking with a 3-star rating. The contrast between the school's solid foundational performance in early middle school and the challenges in upper grades, coupled with the district's higher 4-star rating, points to specific opportunities for growth. For parents, this means the school provides a good base but may need targeted support to help students sustain their academic progress through all three grades.
