Best Middle Schools in Zip Code 99361


Summary:

Zip code 99361 contains one middle school, Preston Hall Middle School, a small public school serving grades 6-8 in Waitsburg, Washington, within the Waitsburg School District.

Preston Hall Middle School is a very small school with 74 students, which allows for a favorable student-teacher ratio and a personalized environment. However, its academic performance has been inconsistent in recent years, with state rankings fluctuating significantly. Current test scores in English, math, and science are all below Washington state averages, with science proficiency being a particular area of concern. Notably, performance in English Language Arts tends to decline sharply from 6th to 8th grade.

Despite high per-student spending, the school's academic outcomes lag, suggesting challenges beyond funding. Half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school community faces economic needs. The school's performance is also below the average for its own Waitsburg School District. For parents, this highlights a school with a close-knit setting but clear academic struggles, where understanding the specific support and improvement plans for middle-grade students would be important.
