Summary

Located in the small northeastern Washington community of Kettle Falls, Kettle Falls Middle School serves approximately 205 students in grades 5–8. The public school has a 14.2:1 student–teacher ratio and is part of the Kettle Falls School District. About 61.95% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, indicating that many families may benefit from additional school and community supports. The school currently ranks 345th of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it in the 33rd percentile.

Recent academic results point to math and English language arts as the main areas needing attention. In 2025–26, proficiency was 22.87% in math and 31.38% in ELA, below Washington averages of 43.11% and 52.81%. Grades 5 and 6 had the weakest results in both subjects; for example, math proficiency was 15.22% in grade 5 and 14.58% in grade 6. Science is a brighter spot: 49.43% of students were proficient overall, and the grade 8 rate was 60.98%, above the state’s 48.78%. The school’s ranking has also dropped sharply from the 54th–60th percentile range in 2022–23 through 2024–25 to the 33rd percentile currently.

Compared with nearby Colville Junior High School, about 8.55 miles away, Kettle Falls trails in all three reported subjects: ELA, 31.38% versus 55.37%; math, 22.87% versus 35.64%; and science, 49.43% versus 62.60%. Colville serves grades 6–8 and has 401 students, so the comparison is not perfectly equivalent, but Kettle Falls also trails in shared grades. Kettle Falls has a smaller student–teacher ratio and higher reported per-student spending than Colville, suggesting that families and school leaders may want to focus on how resources support early-grade instruction, intervention, and student engagement. Historical results and the strong grade 8 science performance show that improvement is possible.
