Summary:
ZIP code 98591 has one middle school, Toledo Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in the rural Toledo area through the Toledo School District. The school enrolls 186 students, has a 16.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and serves a community where 48.39% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, families do not have a local school-to-school comparison within 98591.
For 2025–26, Toledo Middle School’s proficiency rates were 31.77% in English language arts, 23.96% in math, and 26.32% in science. These results were below both district and Washington averages. The strongest relative results came in sixth-grade ELA and math, which matched district performance, and seventh-grade ELA and math, which were slightly above district rates. Eighth grade was the main area of concern: proficiency was 24.56% in ELA, 17.54% in math, and 26.32% in science. Science was nearly equal to the district’s eighth-grade result, but both remained well below the state average.
Recent results show a mixed picture. Science improved by 1.73 percentage points from the previous year, while math declined by 2.15 points and ELA fell substantially, by 9.34 points. The school’s ranking also weakened, moving from the 40th percentile in 2023–24 to the 18th percentile in 2025–26, with its rating changing from two stars to one. For parents, the most important questions may be how the school is addressing eighth-grade math and ELA, what contributed to the recent ELA decline, and whether successful practices from sixth and seventh grade can be extended across the school. Per-student spending was $18,093 in 2023–24, though spending and staffing figures alone do not explain academic outcomes.
