Summary

Daybreak Middle is a public school serving 480 students in grades 5–8 in Battle Ground, Washington, within the relatively strong Battle Ground School District. The school ranks in the 42nd percentile statewide, compared with the district’s 63rd percentile, and 46.25% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Daybreak also reported the lowest student-teacher ratio among nearby district schools, at 16.2, and the highest per-student spending, at $19,283.

Academic results are the main concern. In 2025–26, 46.47% of students were proficient in English language arts, 29.13% in math, and 39.23% in science—below both district and state rates. Math is the clearest weakness across every grade, especially Grade 8, where proficiency was 23.47%. Grade 8 science was also low at 32.65%. Compared with nearby schools, Tukes Valley Middle School had considerably higher math and science proficiency, while Chief Umtuch Middle ranked much higher overall and outperformed Daybreak in all three subjects. Daybreak did, however, exceed Laurin Middle School in ELA.

Daybreak’s statewide ranking has improved substantially over time, rising from the 25th percentile in 2018–19 to the 42nd percentile currently, although it declined from the 46th percentile the previous year. Its Hispanic-student subgroup stands out positively, ranking in the 70th percentile, while results for male students and students from low-income households were weaker. The latest science decline appears more sudden than the persistent math challenge, suggesting different causes may be involved. For families, the most important questions are how the school is strengthening math instruction—particularly in Grade 8—what contributed to the science drop, and which practices are supporting stronger outcomes for some student groups. Nearby schools such as Tukes Valley Middle School may offer useful comparison points.
