Summary

Lyle Middle School is a small public school serving grades 6-8 in rural Lyle, Washington, with a close-knit community of just 57 students as of the 2024-2025 school year.

When compared to nearby schools like Wayne M Henkle Middle School and Wallace & Priscilla Stevenson Intermediate School, Lyle's academic proficiency rates in English, math, and science are significantly lower, despite the school spending considerably more per student and having a more favorable student-to-teacher ratio. This performance gap exists even though Lyle serves a student population with economic challenges similar to its neighbors, and its Lyle School District is ranked lower than the White Salmon Valley School District that the other schools belong to.

Despite these challenges, Lyle Middle School shows promising signs of recent improvement, with its statewide ranking rising substantially over the past few years. The school has demonstrated particular effectiveness in supporting its economically disadvantaged students, who now rank in a much higher percentile statewide. While the school's overall performance still lags behind nearby alternatives, this positive trajectory and its small class sizes are notable strengths for families to consider.
