Summary

Jason Lee Middle School is a public school serving 568 students in grades 6-8 within the Vancouver School District, which ranks in the lower third of Washington districts, and the school itself consistently earns a 2-star rating, placing it in the lower-middle tier of state middle schools.

Academically, the school performs in the middle of its own district, significantly outperforming lower-rated schools like Mcloughlin Middle School but trailing behind higher-performing peers such as Alki Middle School. A notable concern is a drop in 8th-grade proficiency, especially in English and Math, which is more pronounced here than at some nearby schools. With nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Jason Lee shows relative strength in supporting economically disadvantaged students compared to other higher-poverty schools in the area, despite having the highest per-student spending among its Vancouver district peers.

When compared to middle schools in neighboring districts, such as View Ridge Middle School in the higher-ranked Ridgefield School District or Pleasant Valley Middle in the Battle Ground School District, Jason Lee's academic outcomes are lower, even with similar student demographics and higher spending. The school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and performance for specific student groups can vary significantly from year to year, indicating challenges with consistent support.
