Summary

Shahala Middle School is a public school in Vancouver, Washington, serving 732 students in grades 6–8. Located in the Evergreen School District, it is near several middle schools in Vancouver, Camas, and Hockinson, making local comparisons useful for families considering the area.

Shahala is the strongest-performing school among the Evergreen schools in the comparison. Its latest proficiency rates were 51.97% in English language arts, 48.62% in math, and 53.62% in science—well above the Evergreen School District (Clark) averages of 40.55%, 33.45%, and 40.43%. Math is a particular strength: results improved by 7.19 percentage points over four years, and seventh- and eighth-grade math proficiency exceeded 51%. The school’s ELA performance is close to the Washington state average, while science remains above both the state and district results. Shahala’s latest statewide ranking was 157th of 514 middle schools, in the 69th percentile, reflecting a steady recovery from its pandemic-era low. Among nearby Evergreen schools, Pacific Middle School was the next strongest overall, while Cascade Middle School posted substantially lower results.

Families should also consider the school’s areas for growth. Sixth-grade ELA and math results are lower than those in grades 7 and 8, and science declined from its especially strong 2024–25 result. Subgroup effectiveness was strongest for female, male, White, Asian, and English learner students, while results for special education, low-income, multiracial, and Hispanic students were more mixed. Nearby Skyridge Middle School, Odyssey Middle School, and Hockinson Middle School achieved higher scores, but they are in higher-ranked districts. Overall, Shahala stands out as a strong school within Evergreen, with improving math performance and results near or above statewide levels.
