Summary

Glacier View Junior High is a public middle school serving about 843 students in grades 7-9 within the Puyallup School District in Washington, representing a school of average size and economic diversity for the area.

Academically, the school is a solid, middle-performing option within its district, earning 3 stars and ranking in the 56th percentile statewide. Its performance shows strengths in serving some student groups well, but it faces consistent challenges in mathematics, where proficiency rates are below both the district and state averages. Compared to nearby schools, Glacier View's academic results are generally in the middle of the pack for the region; it performs better than some schools in neighboring districts like the Bethel School District but trails top performers in its own district, such as Kalles Junior High and Mountain View Middle School in the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District.

An interesting finding is that the school achieves its results with the lowest per-student spending among all the compared schools, suggesting efficient use of resources. However, its performance has been somewhat volatile over the years, and a key area for improvement is mathematics, particularly in 8th grade. For parents, Glacier View represents a typical community junior high with specific areas for growth, especially in math, but it operates efficiently and shows notable success with certain student populations when compared to other schools across the state.

Great school, one that actually thinks about why they do what they do. They constantly ask for parent input, great PTSA, I love the principal! He does not allow whiny parents to always win, he holds his teachers and students accountable. Close Quote
