Summary

Forks Middle School is a small public school serving 237 students in grades 5–8 in Forks, a rural community on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, within the Quillayute Valley School District.

The school’s statewide standing improved recently, rising from the 6th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 16th percentile in 2025–2026, or 433rd out of 514 schools. Even so, it remains in the lower portion of Washington’s rankings. Academically, English language arts is the most stable area: 33.33% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 38.39% districtwide and 52.81% statewide. Sixth-grade ELA was a bright spot at 46.43%, nearly matching the state’s 48.27%. Science was the school’s strongest subject compared with its district, with 29.06% proficiency versus 26.19% districtwide, although it remained below the 50.95% state rate.

Math is the clearest area of concern. Only 13.33% of students were proficient, compared with 24.54% in the district and 43.11% statewide; every grade was below 22%, and the school’s rate has declined since 2023–2024. About 65.82% of students qualified for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–2025, indicating significant economic need. The student-teacher ratio was a favorable 9.7, which may support small-group instruction and targeted interventions. There are no other schools within 20 miles, so nearby-school comparisons are unavailable; the most useful benchmarks are the district and state. Overall, the school shows improving rankings, stable ELA, and relatively stronger science, but math deserves the most urgent attention.
