Summary

Friday Harbor Middle School is a small grades 6–8 school serving 157 students in the island community of Friday Harbor, within the San Juan Island School District. The district ranks 34th out of 238 Washington districts, and the school ranks 135th out of 514 statewide, placing it in the 74th percentile. Its recent improvement is especially notable: it rose from the 39th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 74th percentile in 2025–2026.

Academically, the school’s strongest areas are English Language Arts and mathematics. In 2025–2026, 59.88% of students were proficient in ELA and 50.63% in math, both above state and district rates. Seventh grade stood out, with 67.21% proficiency in ELA and 61.67% in math; the math result exceeded both nearby comparison schools. Overall, Friday Harbor Middle School had higher ELA and math results than Anacortes Middle School in ELA and was essentially tied with it in math. Orcas Island Middle School ranked slightly higher overall and had stronger ELA and science results, while Friday Harbor was stronger in overall math.

Science is the clearest area for improvement: 46% of students were proficient, below the state, district, Anacortes, and Orcas Island rates. Eighth-grade math also deserves attention because its 41.51% proficiency was well below the school’s seventh-grade result, although it remained above the state. Families may also value the comparatively favorable 15-to-1 student-teacher ratio, lower than at both nearby schools, along with strong recent effectiveness for students from low-income households and special education students. Because enrollment is small, annual results can shift substantially when student cohorts change, so longer-term trends provide useful context.
