Summary:
Zip code 99357 has two middle-level schools in the Royal School District: Royal Intermediate School for grades 4–6 and Royal Middle School for grades 7–8, serving 664 students combined. Because the schools serve different grade levels, their test results are useful for understanding the area but are not a direct comparison of identical student groups.
Royal Intermediate School is the stronger math and science performer. In 2025–26, 43.21% of students were proficient in math, nearly matching the state rate and exceeding the district by 9.84 percentage points. Its fourth-grade math result was especially strong at 52.89%, although math proficiency declined through sixth grade. The school also improved in every tested subject from the prior year, including a 5.29-point gain in science. Its ELA result was 42.66%, below both the district and state. The school reported a 16.1 student–teacher ratio and $16,513 in spending per student.
Royal Middle School has the area’s strongest ELA results, with 51.67% proficiency—close to the state rate and above the district. Both seventh- and eighth-grade ELA results were near statewide levels. Math is the school’s main concern: only 21.19% of students were proficient, roughly 22 points below the state, and results declined from the previous year. Science improved but remained below state performance. Compared with Royal Intermediate, Royal Middle has a higher free/reduced-price lunch rate, a higher student–teacher ratio, and lower spending per student. Overall, the key priority is strengthening math preparation and continuity from grades 4–6 into grades 7–8 while maintaining gains in ELA and science.
