Summary:
ZIP code 98331 contains exactly one middle school: Forks Middle School, a grades 5–8 school in Forks, Washington with 237 students, part of the Quillayute Valley School District. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there is no other local school to compare it against, so the meaningful benchmarks are the school's own past years, its district, and Washington state averages. No test values in this data were suppressed.
Academically, the school ranks 433 out of 514 in 2025–2026, at the 16th percentile with 1 star, up from the 6th percentile and 0 stars in 2024–2025, and roughly even with its 14th percentile showing in 2023–2024. Its clearest weakness is math: all-grades math proficiency is 13.33%, which is 29.78 percentage points below the state and 11.21 points below the district, with 5th grade at 8.62% and 7th grade at 9.43%. English language arts is stronger at 33.33%, though still about 19.48 points below the state; 6th grade ELA stands out at 46.43%, only 1.84 points below the state average, and 6th grade also posts the school's best math result at 21.43% — still 18.36 points below state. Science is 29.06%, above the district's 26.19% but 21.89 points below the state.
Context matters here: 65.82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $20,811, and the student-teacher ratio is 9.7. Year over year, ELA held nearly flat, while math fell 3.48 points and science fell 4.00 points. The school does beat or tie its district in several grade-level results, including 5th and 8th grade ELA, 8th grade math, 8th grade science, and 6th grade ELA and math, suggesting it is not uniformly behind its district even though all-grades math lags badly. Science is reported only for grades 5 and 8, and all-grades values are not simple averages of grade-level results.
