School Overview

Washington Middle sits right in the heart of Salinas, a city with deep agricultural roots and a tight-knit Latino community that gives it a distinct cultural identity. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, making it a reasonable option for families in the area looking for a neighborhood school where their 7th and 8th graders can find their footing before heading into high school. Salinas can be a challenging place to raise kids, but families who are plugged into the community and looking for a local, grounded middle school experience will find Washington to be a familiar and accessible choice.
