Better than 25% of Washington middle schools

Summary

Mcloughlin Middle School serves 1,171 students in grades 6–8 in Pasco, Washington, within the relatively high-need Pasco School District. It is the largest of Pasco’s four middle schools, with 58.92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a 21.6 student-teacher ratio. Statewide, the school ranks 388th of 514 middle schools, placing it in the 25th percentile with a 1-star rating. Although that position is low, Mcloughlin is a relative strength within Pasco and ranks well above Ray Reynolds Middle School.

Academically, English language arts is Mcloughlin’s strongest area. In 2025–26, proficiency was 37.90% in ELA, 23.73% in math, and 34.22% in science. ELA and science were slightly above the Pasco district averages, while math was 1.28 points below the district average and remains the clearest academic concern. ELA results improve notably after sixth grade: proficiency rises from 29.57% in sixth grade to more than 42% in both seventh and eighth grades. Science also improved recently, rising 6.84 points from the prior year, but math has stayed between 23.73% and 25.55% over the past four years. Mcloughlin outperforms Stevens Middle School and Ellen Ochoa Middle School in all three subjects, while Ray Reynolds Middle School leads Mcloughlin in each.

Parents may want to look closely at support for English language learners, special education students, and students from low-income households, whose recent effectiveness rankings were especially low. Staffing also deserves attention: the student-teacher ratio increased from 17.6 in 2022–23 to 21.6 in 2024–25, potentially limiting individual attention and intervention capacity. Overall, Mcloughlin shows meaningful local strengths in upper-grade ELA and recent science growth, but it needs a sustained math improvement plan, stronger sixth-grade transition support, and closer monitoring of services for student groups needing additional help.
