of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 21% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Midway Elementary is a small K–5 school with 222 students in Moses Lake, serving a relatively high-need community within the Moses Lake School District.

Midway has made meaningful progress, but it remains in the lower tier statewide. Its ranking improved from the 5th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 21st percentile currently, rising to 900th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools and earning a one-star rating. Among the 11 nearby schools reviewed, Midway ranks about eighth—above North Elementary, Knolls Vista Elementary, and Larson Heights Elementary, but well below local leaders such as Sage Point Elementary School, Longview Elementary, and Vicki I. Groff Elementary School. In 2025–2026, 33.33% of students were proficient in English language arts, 26.26% in math, and 37.5% in science. Each result was below both district and state rates, although science was Midway’s strongest subject and all three results were generally better than the school’s lowest recent levels.

The most important academic concerns are concentrated in certain grades. Third-grade ELA proficiency was 13.89%, compared with 43.24% in fourth grade and 46.15% in fifth grade. Math was especially weak in third and fourth grades, at 24.32% and 21.62%, while fifth-grade math reached 36% and exceeded the district’s fifth-grade result. Midway serves a higher-need population than many nearby schools, with 75.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its student-teacher ratio rose to 17.3:1. The school also reported the highest per-student spending among the comparison schools, at $21,178, making resource use an important improvement question. Overall, Midway appears to be on an improving but unfinished path, with focused needs in third-grade reading, foundational math in grades 3 and 4, and more consistent year-to-year performance.
