The Ephrata School District in Washington state is home to two middle schools: Ephrata Middle School and Parkway School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Based on the data, Ephrata Middle School appears to be the stronger performing school overall, with higher test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. However, its science proficiency rates are slightly lower than the district and state.
