Lyle Middle School

Lyle is a small, tight-knit river town along the Columbia Gorge, where the rugged scenery is stunning but resources are limited — and that reality shows up in the academics at Lyle Middle School, which ranks toward the lower end of Washington middle schools. Families here tend to be deeply rooted in the community, and the school reflects the close relationships that come with a very small district in a rural setting. For families prioritizing academics, it may be worth exploring supplemental learning options, but for those drawn to the outdoor lifestyle and small-town character of the Gorge, this is simply the local school that comes with the territory.
