Summary

Amboy Middle School is a public school serving approximately 500 students in grades 5–8 in the relatively rural community of Amboy, Washington, and is part of the Battle Ground School District. The school ranks 172nd of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it in the 67th statewide percentile and the upper third of schools statewide. Its ranking has improved substantially from the 47th percentile in 2021–22, although recent test scores declined somewhat from the previous year.

Amboy’s 2025–26 proficiency rates were 49.16% in English Language Arts, 41.09% in math, and 46.96% in science. Its results are close to the average for other Battle Ground School District middle schools, with slightly stronger ELA and math performance but weaker science results. The school’s clearest academic strength is math in grades 6–8: each grade exceeded both district and state rates. In contrast, 5th-grade math was much weaker at 27.91%. ELA was strongest in grades 6 and 7, while 5th- and 8th-grade ELA and science in both tested grades remain areas for improvement. Amboy also compares favorably with Laurin Middle School and Daybreak Middle, particularly in math.

The strongest same-district benchmark is Chief Umtuch Middle School, which currently outperforms Amboy in all three subjects. Nearby Hockinson Middle School and View Ridge Middle School are also substantially stronger, especially in science, while Woodland Middle School is a closer comparison. Amboy’s low-income student subgroup ranks in the 70th percentile, suggesting relatively strong support for those students. Key questions for families include how the school is addressing 5th-grade math, science, uneven ELA results, and the latest one-year decline.

very poor teaching staff. The 7th grade has the worst in the school. Their are a few great teachers. Office staff is rude Principal really needs to retire, she push her jobs to other staff members. The vice Principal isn't much better. If you are willing to drive, It is worth your time to put your kid in another middle school. Close Quote
