Middle Schools in Sultan School District

Summary:

Sultan School District contains one middle school, Sultan Middle School, serving about 460 students in grades 6-8 in a community where over half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school shows a clear and impressive pattern of improvement, having risen in statewide rankings from the 40th percentile to the 55th percentile over the past three years. Its particular strength is in English Language Arts (ELA), where student proficiency consistently exceeds both the Sultan School District and Washington state averages, especially by the 8th grade. This progress occurs despite the economic challenges faced by many families in the area.

However, the school faces significant challenges in math and science, where proficiency rates currently lag behind both district and state averages. This creates a notable gap compared to its strong ELA performance. With per-student spending above the national average, the key opportunity for Sultan Middle School is to apply the strategies driving its success in reading and writing to its STEM subjects to help all students achieve at higher levels.
