of 514 Washington Middle Schools

Better than 97% of Washington middle schools

Summary

Odle Middle School is a grades 6–8 public school in Bellevue, Washington, serving about 974 students in the Bellevue School District and offering a strong option in a high-performing suburban area. The school ranked 14th out of 514 Washington middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 97th statewide percentile and earning five stars. Its ranking has remained in the top 20 for nearly every reported year since 2015–2016, suggesting that its strong results are consistent rather than a one-year spike.

Academically, Odle Middle School performed above both district and state averages in every tested subject. Proficiency rates were 79.09% in English language arts, 75.00% in math, and 79.31% in science. Results were also fairly consistent across grades 6–8. Science was the school’s strongest subject in the latest year and improved by more than five points from the prior year, while math remains a clear opportunity for improvement compared with the very highest-performing nearby schools. The school’s spending and student-teacher ratio are moderate, making its outcomes notable without being tied to unusually high reported resources.

Among nearby schools, Tyee Middle School currently ranks higher, especially in math, while Evergreen Middle School is an even stronger regional benchmark. Tillicum Middle School and Chinook Middle School trail Odle in all three subjects. The closest comparison, Highland Middle School, serves a notably different student population and has much lower proficiency rates, so direct comparisons require caution. Within its own district, Odle stands out for broad, stable achievement. Families may also want to ask about support for English learners and Hispanic students, whose subgroup effectiveness rankings are lower than the school’s overall results, while noting encouraging recent gains for special education and low-income students.

Odle was once a successful school. Now, the grade averages are not even close to standard despite many measures taken by the administration to boost them. Odle was caught being manipulative of the PRISM program by not counting the PRISM students for student population counts determining average family salaries to earn Title One status, but still using PRISM as a tool to boost the grade average a little bit higher. Odle has also implemented a silly and ridiculous Success Initiative system intended to boost the grades since Odle has recently been forced to include PRISM in the population counts and cannot use Title One as an excuse for bad grades, and it gives the teachers despotic powers while student liberties are greatly diminished. Despite several student petitions and protests against the Success Initiative and what problems it poses, the administration has ignored them--and even the Success Initiative, which allows students to make up failed assignments for unlimited improvement (which means grades aren't an accurate assessment of a student's ability--rather they show how many redos a student was allowed) didn't raise grade averages to standard. Odle is failing miserably to maintain a healthy standing within the district and raise the kids to be successful students. Close Quote

Odle was once a successful school. Now the lack of discipline overshadows any accomplishments and is affecting teacher morale. My wife teaches here and comes home disheartened, frustrated and upset about the lack of administrative support. There are many students with special needs, behavioral issues and poor attitudes about learning. Trying to deal with all these issues causes concerns for teachers who are trying to do the best they can. Can all these concerns be met and what is the BSD administration aware of the issues?
