Brewster Middle School

Brewster Middle School is a public school serving 224 students in grades 6–8 in the Brewster, Washington, area as part of the Brewster School District. For 2025–2026, it ranked 355th of 514 Washington middle schools, around the 31st percentile, and received a 2-star rating. This makes it a stronger local option than its statewide ranking alone might suggest, although it remains below Washington’s overall average.

Academic results are considerably better than those at nearby Bridgeport Middle School, about 7.87 miles away. Brewster’s proficiency rates were 39.39% in English language arts, 29.15% in math, and 34.78% in science, compared with Bridgeport’s 13.27%, 7.65%, and 11.70%. Brewster also exceeded its district in ELA and math. Its performance has improved or held steady over time: math rose from 22.08% in 2022–2023 to 29.15% in 2025–2026, while science more than doubled from 16.85% to 34.78%. The school’s statewide ranking has also improved substantially, rising from the 9th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 31st percentile most recently.

One of the clearest patterns is stronger performance by eighth grade. ELA proficiency increased from 21.82% in sixth grade to 50.72% in eighth grade, nearly matching the statewide eighth-grade result. Math also improved by grade, though it remained below state averages. These results suggest that sixth-grade transition support, early literacy, and math intervention could be important priorities. Brewster’s student-group effectiveness is especially strong for migrant students, who ranked 2nd of 28 schools in 2024–2025, while results for low-income students were slightly above the statewide midpoint. Female students had lower subgroup results than male students, indicating another area for attention. About nine in ten students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, and per-student spending was lower than at Bridgeport despite Brewster’s stronger reported outcomes.
