Summary

Reeves Middle School is a consistently well-regarded public school serving about 394 students in grades 6 through 8 within the highly-ranked Olympia School District.

Academically, Reeves is a solid and steady performer where students typically score above the state average in English, math, and science, with science being a particular strength. The school maintains a stable 4-star rating and invests more per student than many nearby middle schools. Within its own district, it sits in the middle of the pack, performing above Thurgood Marshall Middle School but below the higher-ranked Washington Middle School and Jefferson Middle School. Compared to schools in neighboring districts, such as those in North Thurston Public Schools, Reeves generally outperforms peers like Chinook Middle School and Nisqually Middle School, though it is notably surpassed by the exceptional Aspire Middle School.

An interesting finding is that high per-student spending does not automatically mean higher test scores, as seen when comparing Reeves to Aspire. The data suggests the school's hallmark is consistency and effective support for a diverse student body, though a dip in 7th-grade math scores has been noted as an area for attention. For families, Reeves represents a stable, well-resourced choice with a strong track record in a top-performing district.

Reeves Middle School is an incredible school. The entire staff truly cares about students and do whatever it takes to promote student growth. The teachers are innovative and provide student centered instruction. Classrooms are differentiated for the needs of each student and infused with technology. Administration is very strong and communicates very effectively of any upcoming events, issues or changes. Administration always has time for parents and students. Teachers, classified staff and administration are always visible to students at school and at school events. Close Quote

Reeves is an outstanding school based on trends over the past 4 years that reflect rising test scores, a caring community climate, and a collaborate effort between administration & teachers to meet the needs of all kids. This school is a rising star that has overcome a history of negative reviews due to a dedicated staff and the building administration team. My child has blossomed in this school and I can't thank the staff enough for their dedication. Close Quote
