Summary

La Conner Middle is a small public school serving grades 6–8 in La Conner, Washington, with 123 students in a close-knit community setting. The school is part of the La Conner School District, which ranks around the 45th percentile statewide. La Conner Middle’s 14.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is among the lowest in its comparison group, offering the potential for more individualized attention.

The school’s academic results are mixed but show encouraging recent progress. In 2025–26, 40.87% of students were proficient in English language arts, 29.46% in math, and 28.21% in science—below Washington averages in all three subjects. Science is the largest concern, with results more than 22 percentage points below the state average, while math is also a significant challenge. ELA and science improved from the prior year, although math was nearly flat. Seventh grade was the strongest grade in both ELA and math; sixth- and eighth-grade math results were considerably lower. The school’s statewide ranking improved from the 11th percentile in 2020–21 to the 31st percentile in 2025–26, and its rating rose from one star to two.

La Conner Middle is much smaller than most nearby schools, including Cascade Middle School, Port Susan Middle School, and Anacortes Middle School, which enroll roughly 500–700 students. Its ELA and math results are slightly higher than Cascade Middle School and stronger than Mount Baker Middle School, but Port Susan Middle School and Anacortes Middle School are substantially ahead in every tested subject. Overall, the school appears to be improving, with key opportunities in math, science, and support for economically disadvantaged students.
