Summary:

Zip code 98625 in Kalama, Washington, contains one public middle school, Kalama Middle School, serving grades 6 through 8 within the Kalama School District.

Kalama Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science consistently below both district and state averages. A notable concern is the school's science proficiency, which at 32.2% is more than 20 points below the district average. Furthermore, the data shows a clear trend where student performance declines from 6th to 8th grade in core subjects, and the school's statewide ranking has fallen over the past three years to the 28th percentile.

Despite these academic struggles, the school operates with a favorable student-teacher ratio and above-average per-student spending. The broader Kalama School District maintains an average ranking and a strong high school graduation rate of 91%, indicating the middle school's performance is an area of specific focus. For parents, this suggests the school has resources available but may need targeted improvements in curriculum and instructional support, particularly in science and for supporting students as they advance through the middle school grades.
