Summary

West Valley Mid-Level Campus is a large public school in Yakima, Washington, serving 1,167 students in grades 6–8 within the West Valley School District (Yakima). The school ranks 161st out of 514 Washington middle schools for 2025–2026, placing it around the 69th percentile statewide. Its 54.67% free/reduced-price lunch rate is lower than rates at several nearby Yakima schools, while its 18.7 student-teacher ratio is close to the local average. The school’s statewide standing has improved considerably from the 51st percentile in 2020–2021.

Academically, West Valley is one of the strongest traditional middle schools in the area, especially in mathematics. Its 2025–2026 math proficiency rate was 50.34%, well above East Valley Central Middle School at 33.42% and substantially higher than nearby Selah Middle School, Franklin Middle School, and Washington Middle School. Its 8th-grade math proficiency reached 59.95%, more than 21 points above the state rate. English language arts proficiency was 52.50%, essentially matching the state, and was the highest among the nearby schools with reported results. Science was weaker at 44.87%, below both the state and district, although it has improved substantially from 33.75% in 2022–2023.

The main academic questions for families are why 8th-grade ELA falls to 45.76% after stronger 6th- and 7th-grade results, and how the school can continue improving science. The clearest equity concern is special education effectiveness: the school ranked at the 5th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with zero stars, far below its overall performance. In contrast, results for several other student groups were above the statewide midpoint, including low-income students at the 67th percentile. Overall, West Valley offers strong local performance and a particularly notable math program, with targeted improvement needed in science, 8th-grade ELA, and special education support.
