Summary

Garry Middle School serves approximately 410 students in grades 6–8 in Spokane, Washington, in a high-need community where 81.95% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The school is part of the Spokane School District, which ranks around the 50th percentile statewide, but Garry itself ranks in the 14th percentile statewide for 2025–2026 and has a one-star rating. Its student-teacher ratio was 13.8, and its current performance remains well below state and district averages.

In 2025–2026, 26.4% of Garry students were proficient in English language arts, 21.37% in math, and 37.84% in science. Science is the school’s clearest area of progress, rising from 21.96% in 2022–2023 to 37.84% in 2025–2026. ELA improved for several years before falling in the latest year, while math has remained near the low-20% range. Sixth grade is especially important: proficiency was 19.4% in ELA and 18.05% in math, lower than the results for seventh and eighth grade. These patterns point to continued needs in foundational literacy, math skills, and the transition into middle school.

Garry compares favorably with its two closest listed schools, Shaw Middle School and Denny Yasuhara Middle School, outperforming both in ELA, math, and science. It is also stronger than Glover Middle School in science. However, it trails higher-performing nearby schools such as Sacajawea Middle School, which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide. Garry’s rank has improved from the single-digit percentiles earlier in the period, but recent results suggest partial progress rather than a sustained turnaround. Relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio also suggest that how resources and supports are organized may be as important as the amount spent.
