ZIP code 98848 has one middle school, Quincy Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in the Quincy area of central Washington. The school enrolls 717 students and is part of the Quincy School District.

The reported student-teacher ratio was 16.2 to 1, and per-student spending was $17,621 in 2023–2024.
For parents comparing local options, there is no other middle school in this ZIP code, so the most useful comparisons are with district and Washington averages. In 2025–2026, Quincy Middle School’s proficiency rates were 34.18% in English language arts, 18.51% in math, and 26.67% in science. ELA and science were slightly above district results, while math was about one percentage point below the district. ELA was the school’s strongest subject, with grade-level results ranging from 32.67% to 36%. Math was the main academic concern: proficiency stayed below 21% in every grade, with 7th grade lowest at 15.35%. The school was substantially below state averages in all three subjects, particularly math.
There are also some encouraging signs in the recent results. Science proficiency increased by nearly eight percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the strongest improvement among the tested subjects. ELA was nearly unchanged, while math declined slightly. The school’s ranking improved from 468th of 534 schools to 440th of 514, although it remained in the lower portion of the comparison group and retained a one-star rating. Overall, families should expect a school performing close to district levels, with relatively steady ELA results and notable science improvement, but with math—especially 7th-grade math—standing out as the clearest area for continued support.
