Summary
Eastmont Junior High is a public school in East Wenatchee, Washington, serving 687 students in grades 7–9 in the East Wenatchee area. It is part of the Eastmont School District, which ranks around the 57th percentile statewide, while the school ranks around the 25th percentile among Washington middle schools. About 62.59% of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, and the student-teacher ratio is 19:1.
Academic results are below both district and state averages. In 2025–26, 41.86% of students were proficient in English language arts, 24.48% in math, and 27.66% in science. Math—especially 8th-grade math, at 17.49%—is the most urgent concern, while science has the largest gap compared with the state. The nearby Sterling Junior High School is the most useful comparison because it serves the same grades, has a similar enrollment and student-teacher ratio, and is only 0.28 miles away. Sterling’s proficiency rates are higher in ELA, math, and science. Foothills Middle School, with a similar student-teacher ratio and slightly lower meal-program rate, also performs substantially better, particularly in science.
There are encouraging signs: since 2022–23, Eastmont’s proficiency has risen by 7.90 percentage points in ELA, 8.69 points in math, and 3.29 points in science. However, ELA and math declined slightly in the most recent year, so the gains have not yet become consistent. The school performs better than Orchard Middle School and Pioneer Middle School in ELA and math, but trails both in science. For a high-performing regional benchmark, Cashmere Middle School has much higher results, though it serves different grades and has a different community context. Parents may want to focus on math and science supports, year-to-year consistency, and how Eastmont compares instructional practices with nearby schools.
