Summary

Sultan Middle School in Sultan, Washington, serves approximately 462 students in grades 6–8 and is part of the Sultan School District. The school is smaller than most nearby middle schools and serves a relatively high-need student population: 52.81% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Statewide, the school ranks 340th of 514 middle schools, placing it in the 34th percentile with a 2-star rating. This is notably lower than the district’s statewide standing, which is in the 60th percentile.

Academic results are below both the district and Washington averages in all three reported subjects. In 2025–26, 40.00% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 28.19% in math, and 42.31% in science. Math is the most consistent challenge, with proficiency below 31% in every grade. ELA also requires attention after falling 19.64 points from 59.64% in 2024–25 to 40.00% in 2025–26. Science is a relative bright spot: results improved from 33.07% in 2023–24 to 42.31% in 2025–26. The school’s latest ranking also represents a setback after it reached the 50th–55th percentile range in 2023–25.

Compared with nearby schools, Sultan Middle School is near the bottom in each subject. Its results trail Hidden River Middle School and Park Place Middle School, which have more comparable enrollment or economic profiles, while the gaps are much larger against schools such as Timberline Middle School and Timbercrest Middle School. Sultan’s per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are close to the nearby-school averages, suggesting that future improvement may depend especially on consistent instruction, math intervention, ELA recovery, and stronger support for students receiving special education services.
