Summary

Tonasket Middle School is a public school serving 221 students in grades 6 through 8 in the rural Tonasket School District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with student test scores consistently below state averages in all core subjects, particularly in mathematics where proficiency is about half the state average. Its statewide ranking has declined over the past several years. It's important to note that the school's performance closely mirrors the district's overall low ranking, suggesting broader community factors. However, the school does show a relative strength in science and has demonstrated notably effective support for some student groups, such as homeless students, where its performance ranks much higher compared to other schools.

While a high percentage of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, per-student spending at the school is substantial and has increased recently. The data indicates there are significant performance differences between grade levels and a historical trend of female students outperforming male students. There are no other middle schools within 20 miles for direct comparison, making Tonasket Middle School the central option for families in the area.
