Summary

Lake Stevens Middle School is a 4-star public school serving about 709 students in grades 6 and 7, located within the highly-rated Lake Stevens School District.

The school is on a strong upward trend, having jumped 91 spots in the state rankings to 99th out of 534 middle schools this year, showing remarkable improvement that outpaces its district counterpart, North Lake Middle School. Academically, students outperform state averages in both English and Math, with notable strengths in supporting several student subgroups to achieve high rankings. The school benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 17.6 to 1 and higher per-student spending than many nearby schools, which appears to contribute to these positive outcomes.

When compared to schools in neighboring districts like Marysville School District or Snohomish School District, Lake Stevens Middle School's performance highlights the advantage of being in a top-tier district. However, parents should note the school has shown some year-to-year volatility in rankings and faces a consistent challenge in serving its Special Education population, an area that has not improved alongside the school's other gains. The school also shows an interesting pattern where 6th graders are stronger in math while 7th graders excel in English.
