Garfield Middle School

Garfield is a small, tight-knit farming community in the rolling Palouse hills of eastern Washington, where the school truly sits at the heart of town life. Garfield Middle School serves a rural student body where everyone knows everyone, and that close community feel can be a real draw for families who value personal attention and a slower pace than you'd find in the city. Academics are still a work in progress — particularly in math — but for families rooted in this corner of Whitman County, the school offers a genuine small-town experience that's hard to replicate anywhere else.
