Summary:

The Lynden School District in Washington has one middle school, Lynden Middle School, serving about 705 students in grades 6 through 8.

Lynden Middle School shows a clear pattern of stronger academic performance in the earlier grades. Sixth graders outperform both district and state averages in English and math, indicating a solid start for students entering middle school. However, proficiency tends to decline in the upper grades, with eighth-grade scores in English, math, and science falling below state averages, highlighting math as a particular area for growth as students progress.

The school's state ranking has seen a slight decline over the past three years, placing it near the middle of all Washington middle schools. With nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a community with significant economic need. It is supported by per-student spending above the state average, though its student-teacher ratio is moderate. Parents should note the school's early strengths and the district-wide trend of outperforming the state in English but facing challenges in math and science.
