Chelan Middle School is a public school serving 285 students in grades 6-8 in the Lake Chelan School District, showing strong improvement and offering a solid academic option in the region.

The school has made impressive gains, recovering from lower pandemic-era performance to now rank in the top 60% of all Washington middle schools. It particularly excels in English Language Arts, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages. When compared to nearby schools, Chelan Middle School significantly outperforms Bridgeport Middle School and slightly edges out Manson Middle School in overall ranking.
