Summary
Grandview Middle School serves 815 students in grades 6–8 in Grandview, Washington, and is the largest of the nearby middle schools, serving a high-need community within the Grandview School District. The school has shown meaningful long-term improvement, rising from the 10th percentile statewide in 2020–2021 to the 31st percentile currently, although it remains below the state midpoint. Its latest ranking is higher than those of Housel Middle School, Harrison Middle School, Granger Middle School, and Sierra Vista Middle School.
Grandview’s clearest strength is mathematics. In 2025–2026, 35.35% of students were proficient in math—the highest rate among the comparison schools and just below the district’s 35.85%. Grandview led Housel Middle School by 7.71 percentage points and exceeded Granger Middle School by 21.50 points. Sixth-grade math was particularly strong at 42.11%, above the Washington rate, while seventh grade was a notable weakness at 28.46%. ELA proficiency was 34.93%, ahead of most nearby schools but well below the statewide 52.81%. Results were fairly consistent across grades, though eighth grade was the weakest. Science was the school’s lowest-performing subject at 25.91%, close to the nearby-school average but about 25 points below Washington.
The school’s student-teacher ratio was 17.9:1, broadly typical for the area, and its 2023–2024 spending of $17,461 per student was lower than at all four comparison schools. About 85% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, highlighting the importance of considering school context when reviewing test results. Subgroup effectiveness was strongest for migrant students, who ranked in the 91st percentile, while Hispanic students ranked in the 61st percentile and low-income students in the 54th percentile. The sharp decline for special education students, to the 11th percentile, is the most urgent concern. Overall, Grandview is an improving regional performer, with priorities that include strengthening science, improving eighth-grade ELA, addressing the seventh-grade math drop, and reviewing special education services.
