Summary

Mt. Solo Middle School is a public grades 6–8 school in Longview, Washington, serving 401 students in the Longview School District in an area with several nearby middle-school options. Its latest ranking is 252nd out of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it at the 51st percentile and roughly in the middle of the state. Among the three Longview middle schools, it ranks behind Monticello Middle School but ahead of Cascade Middle School.

English language arts is the school’s clearest academic strength. In 2025–26, 50.13% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 44.28% across the district and 52.81% statewide. That was the second-highest ELA result among the nearby schools listed, just behind Monticello Middle School at 51.49%. Math is more challenging: 33.60% of students were proficient, slightly below the district and well below the state. Eighth-grade math was the largest concern, at 26.83%, compared with 40.00% in sixth grade. Science proficiency was 42.28%, nearly equal to the district but below the state and behind Monticello Middle School, Coweeman Middle School, and Cascade Middle School.

The school’s overall ranking has been fairly stable near the statewide midpoint after recovering from a dip in 2020–21. Its 16.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio is lower than most nearby comparison schools, and its reported per-student spending of $18,198 was the highest among those schools. These resources may support individual attention and interventions, though the available data do not show how spending affects achievement. Families may also want to ask about the recent ELA decline, math support—particularly in eighth grade—and services for students receiving special education, whose statewide effectiveness ranking was at the 20th percentile. Overall, Mt. Solo Middle School appears to be a stable, middle-performing option with a meaningful literacy strength and several opportunities to improve consistency across subjects and student groups.
