Summary

Jason Lee Middle School is a public school serving 568 students in grades 6–8 in Vancouver, Washington, within the Vancouver School District. Its latest statewide ranking is 323rd of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it in the 37th percentile with a 2-out-of-5-star rating. The school serves a moderately economically diverse community, with 48.42% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the latest available year.

Academically, Jason Lee is a middle-performing school locally and is somewhat stronger than its district overall. In 2025–2026, 38.89% of students were proficient in English language arts, 31.14% in math, and 47.67% in science—slightly above the district average in ELA and math and 4.32 percentage points above it in science. Science is the school’s clearest strength: its result was only 3.28 points below the state average and improved substantially over four years. By comparison, Jason Lee outperformed Gaiser Middle School, Discovery Middle School, and McLoughlin Middle School in every tested subject, but trailed Alki Middle School and Thomas Jefferson Middle School.

Parents may want to pay particular attention to sixth-grade transition support. Sixth-grade math proficiency was 21.71%, compared with 36.79% in seventh grade and 34.02% in eighth grade, while ELA also improved after sixth grade. ELA is the main longer-term concern, declining each year from 44.62% in 2022–2023 to 38.89% in 2025–2026; math has been mixed but remains above its earlier level. Nearby Pleasant Valley Middle is a useful higher-performing comparison because its economic-need percentage is similar, yet its proficiency rates are about 7–11 points higher. Overall, Jason Lee appears stronger than several local schools serving greater levels of need, but it still has room to improve in literacy and sixth-grade mathematics.
