Middle Schools in Tenino School District

Tenino School District has one middle school, Tenino Middle School, serving grades 6-8 in the community of Tenino, Washington.

This school shows a clear strength in science, with its 8th graders scoring well above the state average, which is a notable bright spot. However, overall academic performance is mixed, as the school consistently earns a below-average 2-star rating compared to other Washington middle schools. While English Language Arts scores improve steadily from 6th to 8th grade, math proficiency is a significant concern, declining after 6th grade and falling notably below state averages.

With about half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a community with economic need, yet it operates with adequate resources, including a moderate class size and per-student spending above the national average. The strong science results demonstrate that effective instruction can lead to high achievement, suggesting potential for improvement in other subjects if successful strategies are shared.
