Summary

Chelan Middle School in Chelan, Washington, serves approximately 285 students in grades 6–8 in the Lake Chelan School District, a community in the Lake Chelan area. It is the largest of the three nearby middle schools compared here, with about 285 students versus 154 at Bridgeport Middle School and 128 at Manson Middle School. The school has shown notable momentum, rising from the 23rd percentile statewide in 2020–2021 to the 70th percentile in 2025–2026.

Academically, Chelan is strongest in English language arts and math. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 57.25% in ELA and 49.62% in math—above both state averages and the results at Manson and Bridgeport. The math difference was especially substantial: Chelan exceeded Manson by 16.78 points and Bridgeport by 41.97 points. Sixth grade stands out, with 64.37% proficiency in ELA and 63.22% in math; however, seventh-grade math was 40.63%, slightly below the state’s 41.31%, making it an area to watch. Science is the school’s main academic opportunity. Proficiency reached 40.51%, an improvement over prior years but 10.44 points below the state rate. In contrast, Manson was much stronger in science, at 60.87%.

The school’s staffing and resource profile is favorable among the comparison schools. Its student-teacher ratio was 13.7 to 1, lower than Manson’s 14.7 to 1 and Bridgeport’s 19.2 to 1, and its reported per-student spending was highest at $18,611. Chelan serves a substantial economically disadvantaged population, with 61.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but that share was lower than Manson’s 67.97% and Bridgeport’s 90.91%. Overall, Chelan combines strong recent improvement, above-state ELA and math results, and broad gains across several student-group effectiveness rankings, while maintaining clear goals for science and seventh-grade math.
