Summary

Deer Park Middle School serves 503 students in grades 6–8 in Deer Park, Washington, an area with considerable variation in school performance. It is part of the Deer Park School District, which ranks 98th of 238 Washington districts, around the 59th percentile statewide. The school ranks 153rd of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it around the 70th percentile and earning a four-star rating. This is a notable improvement from 211th and the 60th percentile in 2024–25.

Academically, Deer Park is strongest in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics. In 2025–26, 57.46% of students were proficient in ELA, 44.27% in math, and 48.24% in science. ELA performance was remarkably consistent across grades, ranging from 57.05% to 57.74%, and exceeded the state in every grade. Math was above both the district and state overall, although results declined from 47.22% in sixth grade to 41.67% in eighth grade. Science improved sharply from 36.81% to 48.24% in one year, but remains slightly below the district and state. Deer Park outperformed nearby Riverside Middle School in all three subjects and substantially exceeded Spokane schools such as Pauline Flett Middle School, Salk Middle School, Glover Middle School, and Garry Middle School.

Deer Park is a strong local performer, though Highland Middle School and Lakeside Middle School are stronger overall, particularly in math and science. The school serves a moderately diverse economic population, with 52.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its low-income student subgroup ranks at the 81st percentile statewide. Areas needing attention include special education outcomes, which rank at the 37th percentile, male-student results, eighth-grade math, and sustaining the recent science improvement. Overall, Deer Park offers consistent ELA performance, above-district results in ELA and math, and a favorable recent trajectory without being the top-performing school in the area.
