Middle Schools in Rochester School District

Rochester School District in Washington serves middle school students through a single school, Rochester Middle School, which enrolls about 535 students in grades 6-8 in a rural/suburban community.

This school shows notable strengths, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. For instance, its 7th graders outperform both the district and state averages in English, and 8th-grade science proficiency is also above these benchmarks. The school has consistently earned a 3-star rating from the state over the past three years, and it typically ranks higher than the Rochester School District overall, indicating it is a relative strength within the local system.

While performing commendably given that 60% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, areas for growth exist, especially in math where scores tend to decline in the upper grades. The school's performance is stable, but parents may want to inquire about supports for math and how the successful strategies in English and science are being applied across all subjects.
