Summary:
The Quincy School District has one middle school, Quincy Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in Quincy, Washington. The school enrolls 717 students, has a 16.2-to-1 student–teacher ratio, and serves a community where about 79.92% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Since it is the district’s only middle school, there are no other local middle schools for direct comparison.
In 2025–2026, English Language Arts was the school’s strongest subject, with 34.18% of students meeting proficiency standards. That was slightly above the district average of 32.96%, but well below the Washington average of 52.81%. Science proficiency was 26.67%, also slightly above the district average, and it improved substantially from 18.73% the previous year. Math was the clearest area of concern: only 18.51% of students were proficient, compared with 19.54% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. Seventh grade was the weakest grade in both ELA and math, while 8th grade had the strongest results in ELA and math and was generally slightly above district averages.
Overall, the school’s performance is mixed but shows some recent progress. Its statewide ranking improved from 468th in 2024–2025 to 440th in 2025–2026, and its percentile rose from the 12th to the 14th percentile, although it remained a one-star school in the lower portion of the statewide distribution. The most encouraging development is the sharp gain in science, while the most important priority is improving math achievement, particularly in 7th grade. Families may also want to consider the school’s broader context: reported per-student spending was $17,621 in 2023–2024, and the school’s high level of economic need may make access to academic supports and interventions especially important.
