Summary

Manson Middle School is a small public school serving 128 students in grades 6-8 in the Manson School District, and it has shown remarkable improvement in recent years, climbing from a low state ranking to earning 3 stars.

The school's journey is one of impressive turnaround, moving from the bottom 10% of schools a decade ago to now ranking in the top 43% statewide. This progress, however, has seen some ups and downs year-to-year, suggesting the school is still working to make its gains consistent. Academically, there's an interesting pattern across grades: sixth graders often start with lower math scores, but the school has been very successful in helping students make strong progress in seventh and eighth grade. Compared to the larger Chelan Middle School, Manson achieves similar math results overall and shows particular strength in its upper-grade performance.

With a student-teacher ratio of 14.7 to 1, the school offers relatively small class sizes. It serves a community with significant economic need, with 68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this challenge and having lower per-student spending than Chelan Middle School, Manson achieves comparable academic outcomes, pointing to efficient use of resources. Parents should note that science scores, while improving, remain an area for growth compared to state averages, a trend also seen in the neighboring district.
