Summary

Angelo Giaudrone Middle School is a public school serving 449 students in grades 6–8 in Tacoma, an urban community within the Tacoma School District, where many students come from lower-income households.

The school’s academic results are below both district and Washington averages. In 2025–26, proficiency was 23.58% in English language arts, 13.44% in math, and 30.83% in science. Math is the clearest concern, particularly in 8th grade, where only 8.33% of students were proficient. ELA results were strongest in 8th grade at 28.79%, but the school’s overall ELA rate fell from 32.42% the previous year. Science is the most encouraging area: proficiency rose to 30.83%, the school’s best result in the four-year period reviewed. Even so, improvement has not been consistent across subjects. Statewide, the school ranked in the 6th percentile in 2025–26 and has generally remained in the bottom 10–15% in recent years.

Compared with nearby Tacoma schools, Angelo Giaudrone is in the lower-performing group, though it is not the lowest. It slightly exceeded First Creek Middle School in all three subjects and outperformed Gray Middle School, Hilltop Heritage Middle School, and Baker Middle School in science. However, it trailed stronger local options such as Stewart Middle School. The much higher results at Drum Intermediate and Narrows View Intermediate in the University Place School District provide regional contrast, although those schools serve different grade levels and student populations. Key priorities are sustained math improvement, stabilizing ELA, and identifying science practices that could support broader gains.
