Housel Middle School

Prosser is a small agricultural city in the Yakima Valley wine country, where the pace is slower and the community ties run deep — but Housel Middle School faces some real academic headwinds, with test scores sitting in the lower fifth of Washington middle schools. Families who prioritize strong academic outcomes may want to look closely at tutoring options or supplemental enrichment to support their kids here. That said, for families already rooted in Prosser's tight-knit farming and ranching community, the school reflects the town itself — a place where everyone knows each other and local identity matters.
