Summary

Sacajawea Middle School is a consistently high-performing public school serving 855 students in grades 6-8 within the Spokane School District in Washington state.

The school stands out for its strong and stable academic record, earning a 4-star rating for nearly a decade and ranking in the top 15% of all Washington middle schools. Its students significantly outperform both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science. This excellence is particularly notable because Sacajawea achieves these results with the lowest per-student spending among its district peers, suggesting highly efficient use of resources. The school has also demonstrated historical strength in effectively serving students from diverse economic backgrounds and various subgroups.

Sacajawea's performance creates a stark contrast with several other middle schools in the Spokane School District, such as Shaw Middle School and Garry Middle School, which have much lower proficiency rates and state rankings. Its closest competitor is the newer Carla Peperzak Middle School, which is also a 4-star school. While excelling overall, Sacajawea has identified an area for growth in supporting its Special Education students to reach the same high levels of achievement as their peers.
