Summary:
The Stanwood-Camano School District serves middle school students (grades 6-8) with three schools, two of which are traditional middle schools with similar enrollments but dramatically different academic performance.
Port Susan Middle School stands out as the district's top performer, consistently scoring above both district and state averages in English, math, and science, and showing a trend of improvement in its statewide ranking. In contrast, Stanwood Middle School has significantly lower test scores and a declining state ranking, creating a notable performance gap within the same district despite the schools having similar sizes and resources.
The third school, Lincoln Academy, is a very small program with only 20 students; it operates differently, with a much lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, but current academic performance data is not available for comparison with the other two schools.
