Summary

Mt. Solo Middle School is a public school serving about 400 students in grades 6-8 within the Longview School District, and it stands out as a consistently solid performer that ranks in the middle of all Washington state middle schools.

The school's greatest strength is in English Language Arts (ELA), where it significantly outperforms both the state average and all nearby middle schools, including Cascade Middle School and Monticello Middle School in Longview. Mt. Solo shows particular effectiveness in supporting students from low-income families, ranking well above average for this group statewide. While math scores are an area for growth, the school has maintained a stable, 3-star rating for several years, demonstrating reliable performance even through challenging times.

Compared to other schools in the region, such as Coweeman Middle School in the neighboring Kelso School District—which has similar overall rankings but stronger science scores—Mt. Solo's ELA program is a key differentiator. With higher per-student spending and a favorable student-teacher ratio, Mt. Solo delivers consistent results that exceed the performance of its home district, making it a stable choice for families in the area.
