Monticello Middle School is the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 59th state percentile and earning three stars. It leads the local schools in English language arts, math, and science, with 51.49%, 37.08%, and 51.77% proficiency, respectively. Monticello also improved in all three subjects from the previous year and exceeded the district average in each one. Its science result was slightly above the Washington state average. Mt. Solo Middle School ranks second, at the 51st percentile, and is particularly strong in English language arts. However, its overall ELA score declined from the prior year, and its eighth-grade math proficiency was only 26.83%, making that an important area to investigate.

Cascade Middle School ranks third at the 36th percentile and has the lowest overall proficiency in ELA and math. Its science performance is more encouraging: science proficiency rose by more than 11 percentage points and slightly exceeded the district average. Across all three schools, math is the clearest shared challenge, with every school below the statewide math average of 43.11%. Science is the strongest common improvement area because all three schools improved year over year. Families comparing options may see Monticello as the strongest all-around choice, Mt. Solo as a solid alternative with a specific eighth-grade math concern, and Cascade as a school showing science progress while still needing improvement in ELA and math.
