Summary

Maywood Middle School is a public school serving 826 students in grades 6-8 in Renton, Washington, and it stands out as a high-performing institution within the highly-ranked Issaquah School District.

Academically, Maywood consistently outperforms state averages, with recent proficiency rates around 71% in English, 68% in Math, and 64% in Science. Its overall state ranking places it in the 91st percentile, a stark contrast to many nearby middle schools in the Renton School District and Kent School District, which often rank in the bottom half. For example, while Maywood ranks 48th statewide, Meeker Middle School (Kent) ranks 342nd and Dimmitt Middle School (Renton) ranks 403rd. This "district advantage" is significant, as even the lower-performing schools within the Issaquah district, like Issaquah Middle School, rank much higher than the best-performing schools in the neighboring districts.

Within its own district, Maywood is a solid, above-average performer, though not the top; schools like Cougar Mountain Middle School rank higher. A notable area for attention is a recent decline in performance rankings for its Special Education students, which has fallen from the 84th to the 55th percentile. The school's location creates a unique situation where students living just a few miles apart in different districts experience vastly different educational outcomes, with Maywood benefiting from the resources and community support of its high-performing district.
