Daybreak Middle

Daybreak Middle sits in Battle Ground, a smaller city in Clark County that still has that Pacific Northwest small-town feel while benefiting from its proximity to Vancouver and the broader Portland metro area — a nice middle ground for families who want a little breathing room without feeling too far from everything. The school lands right around the state average in English and punches a bit higher in science, making it a solid choice for families with kids who lean toward hands-on, analytical subjects. It's a reasonable fit for families putting down roots in this corner of Southwest Washington who want a community-oriented school without the intensity of the more competitive suburban districts nearby.
