Summary:
Wellpinit School District #49 has one listed middle school, Wellpinit Middle School, serving 83 students in grades 6–8 in Wellpinit, Washington. With only one middle school in the district, there are no nearby district schools to compare directly, so the most useful comparisons are with district and state results.
Wellpinit Middle School’s strongest reported subject is Science. Twenty percent of students were proficient, compared with 11.94% across the district and 50.95% statewide. English Language Arts proficiency was 16%, close to the district’s 18.59% but well below Washington’s 52.81%. Among individual grades, 8th-grade ELA was strongest at 20%, while 7th grade was lowest at 11.11%. ELA improved slightly from 15.19% the previous year, but the school remains far below state performance. Math results for the school are suppressed, so they cannot be judged directly; however, the district’s Math proficiency was just 5.16%, compared with 43.11% statewide.
Families should also consider the school’s context. Nearly 90% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating substantial economic need, while the school reported a relatively low 14-to-1 student-teacher ratio and high spending of $26,704 per student. Its small enrollment can make percentages change noticeably from year to year and may explain why some results are unavailable. Statewide rankings place the school near the bottom, although rankings should be interpreted cautiously because of its size. The clearest priorities are strengthening literacy—especially in 7th grade—and addressing district-wide mathematics challenges, while examining whether practices supporting the comparatively stronger Science results can be applied elsewhere.
