Summary:
Hawkins Middle School is the only middle school in North Mason School District, serving students in grades 6–8 in Belfair, Washington. The school enrolls 485 students, has a 17.7:1 student–teacher ratio, and serves a community where 57.73% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Because it is the district’s only middle school, there are no other local middle schools for direct comparison.
The most encouraging recent result at Hawkins Middle School was in science. Proficiency increased from 27.81% in 2024–2025 to 36.05% in 2025–2026, an improvement of about 8.24 percentage points. The school’s science result was close to the district average of 37.28%. Math proficiency was also close to the district level, at 28.57% compared with 30.11%. By grade, seventh grade had the strongest math result at 29.75%, while eighth grade led in English language arts at 36.36%. Sixth grade had the lowest results in both ELA and math, making the transition into middle school an important area to watch.
ELA remains the clearest academic challenge. Overall ELA proficiency was 33.19%, compared with 39.09% districtwide and 52.81% statewide. Math and science also remained below state averages, although their gaps were smaller than the ELA gap. The school’s ranking improved from 437th of 534 schools in 2024–2025 to 387th of 514 in 2025–2026, and its percentile rose from 18th to 25th, but it still received a one-star rating and ranked in the lower quarter statewide. Parents may want to look for continued science progress, stronger sixth-grade transition support, literacy interventions, and districtwide math improvement efforts. Per-student spending was $18,628 in 2023–2024.
