Summary:
Granger Middle School is the only middle school in the Granger School District, serving students in grades 5–8 in Granger, Washington. The school enrolls about 425 students, has a student-teacher ratio of 17.7:1, and serves a community where 92.71% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Per-student spending was $18,755 in 2023–2024, providing useful context about the resources and student needs in this area.
Academically, the school’s strongest area is English Language Arts, where 28.21% of students were proficient in 2025–2026—nearly identical to the district’s 28.25%. Seventh grade stands out as the strongest grade, with 41.49% proficiency in ELA and 24.47% in Math, slightly exceeding district results in both subjects. Fifth-grade ELA and Science also narrowly exceeded district results, while eighth-grade results matched the district in ELA, Math, and Science. These comparisons suggest that the school generally performs close to district levels in ELA, although results remain below Washington state averages.
Math is the clearest academic concern for families considering the school. Overall Math proficiency was 13.85%, compared with 21.81% for the district and 43.11% statewide. Fifth-grade Math was especially low at 5.43%, and eighth-grade Math was 7.29%; Math proficiency also declined 4.76 percentage points from the prior year. Science improved from 17.54% to 20.21%, but remains well below the state average, while ELA declined slightly. The school ranked in the 10th statewide percentile in 2025–2026, so parents should weigh its supportive context and seventh-grade strengths alongside the need for substantial academic improvement, particularly in Math.
