Summary

Haller Middle School is a public school in Arlington, Washington, serving grades 6–8 and about 576 students in the Arlington School District. The school is in a moderately diverse, economically mixed area, with approximately 36.98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Haller ranks in the 42nd percentile among Washington middle schools, while its district ranks in the 68th percentile, indicating that the school performs below the district overall.

Haller’s strongest subject is English language arts (ELA), with 47.50% of students proficient. Its eighth-grade ELA result is especially encouraging at 58.89%, above both the district and state results. However, sixth-grade ELA is much weaker at 34.81%, suggesting that the transition into middle school may be a challenge. Mathematics is the most urgent concern: proficiency has remained below 30% for four consecutive years and was 28.17% in 2025–2026. Science proficiency was 42.86%. Haller trails the district in all three subjects, including by 11.17 points in math and 11.91 points in science.

Compared with nearby schools, Haller occupies a middle-to-lower position. It performs substantially better than Totem Middle School and generally better than Granite Falls Middle School and Lakewood Middle School. It is somewhat behind Post Middle School and Stanwood Middle School, and trails Port Susan Middle School by 24.3 points in math. Haller also has the highest student-teacher ratio among the listed comparison schools, at 23.2 students per teacher. Overall, parents may want to focus on math support, sixth-grade transition services, science achievement, and support for students from lower-income households.
