Summary:
ZIP code 99348 has one middle school, Prescott Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in the Prescott School District; with 38 students, it is a very small school where year-to-year test results may change significantly based on the performance of a relatively small number of students.
Prescott Middle School showed encouraging improvement in 2025–2026. English language arts proficiency rose from 18.75% to 32%, while math increased from 12.5% to 36%. Even with those gains, results remained below Washington averages in both subjects. Science was a relative strength: 37.5% of students were proficient, slightly above the district’s 33.96%, though below the state rate of 50.95%. Sixth-grade math was the school’s standout result, with 47.83% proficiency—higher than the statewide rate of 39.79%. In contrast, performance declined in the upper grades. Seventh- and eighth-grade math proficiency was 27.27% and 25%, respectively, while eighth-grade ELA was 25%, nearly 26 percentage points below the state rate.
The school’s statewide ranking improved to 360th of 514 schools, or the 30th percentile, in 2025–2026, compared with the 13th percentile in 2023–2024. The Prescott School District ranked in the 35th percentile statewide, somewhat higher than the school. Families should also consider the school’s broader context: 65.79% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, the student-teacher ratio was 9.7:1, and per-student spending was $27,857. These figures suggest a small school with the potential for individualized attention, but recent academic priorities should include sustaining the improvement, strengthening ELA, and addressing the noticeable drop in achievement from sixth grade to grades 7–8.
