Summary

Haller Middle School is a public school serving 576 students in grades 6-8 within the Arlington School District, currently ranked in the middle range of Washington state middle schools with a 2-star rating.

Academically, the school shows a mix of strengths and challenges: its English Language Arts performance improves dramatically from 6th to 8th grade, ending well above the district average, and science is a relative strength, nearly matching the state average. However, math proficiency is a significant concern, falling notably below both the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has shown considerable volatility in recent years, declining from historically higher performance. Compared to its district peer, Post Middle School, Haller shows a similar struggle with math but a much stronger trajectory in upper-grade English.

When looking at nearby schools, Port Susan Middle School stands out as a high performer with similar student demographics, suggesting factors beyond basic resources influence success. Haller operates with a higher student-teacher ratio than most comparable schools but spends a mid-range amount per student. The analysis shows that higher spending and smaller class sizes at other schools, like Totem Middle School, do not automatically lead to better outcomes, pointing to the importance of instructional quality and specific program effectiveness.
