Building and Facilities
Washington was built in 1970 with additions constructed in 1990,1991 and 2003. The school features six full science labs, a computer lab, a gymnasium with a stage, a full-sized track, and a football and soccer field. The two-story building is handicapped-accessible by elevator and ramps.
Student Statistics
Washington's current enrollment is 180 sixth-grade students, 185 seventh-grade students and 200 eighth- grade students. There are 64 Voluntary Transfer Students at WMS, approximately 11% of the student population.
Technology
Technology is important at Washington Middle School.
The school has two computer labs with 25 IBM computers in each lab. The library has an additional 25 computers to allow all students the opportunity to complete research through the World Wide Web. Each teacher has a computer within their classroom to enhance the presentation of, research for and preparation of curricular materials. All of the computers within the school are networked allowing instant communication throughout the school and district. The school also has two traveling smart boards, and all classrooms have cable television. Thanks to the work completed through proposition P, we are now completely air-conditioned for "cool" learning.
