Summary

Port Susan Middle School is a public 6th-8th grade school serving about 530 students in the Stanwood-Camano School District, consistently ranking as one of the top-performing middle schools in Washington state.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, where students score significantly higher in English, math, and science than both the district and state averages. This excellence is especially clear when compared to its closest neighbor, Stanwood Middle School; despite being in the same district with similar resources and student demographics, Port Susan's proficiency rates are over 20 points higher in core subjects. It also effectively supports students from various backgrounds, with particularly high rankings for Hispanic, multi-racial, and economically disadvantaged students. Among all nearby schools, including Cedarcrest School in the Marysville School District, Port Susan is the regional leader.

While performing well overall, the school has seen a recent decline in its ranking for Special Education students, indicating an area for focus. Additionally, math scores dip after 6th grade, suggesting a potential challenge with curriculum transitions. Nevertheless, Port Susan has shown remarkable stability, maintaining its high performance even through recent challenging years, making it a consistently strong choice for families in the area.
