Summary

Brier Terrace Middle School is a well-regarded public school serving about 650 students in grades 7 and 8 in the Edmonds School District in Brier, WA, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 15% of all Washington middle schools.

Academically, Brier Terrace is the clear leader within its own district, with students significantly outperforming peers at other Edmonds middle schools like Meadowdale Middle School, College Place Middle School, and Alderwood Middle School in English, math, and science. The school also holds its own when compared to many schools in higher-ranked neighboring districts, performing on par with or better than schools like Canyon Park Middle School in the Northshore School District and Kellogg Middle School in the Shoreline School District.

While the school shows notable strengths and consistent performance over time, it faces a significant and urgent challenge in supporting its Special Education students, whose performance rankings have dropped sharply. An interesting recent trend shows male students at the school now outperforming female students, which is unusual compared to typical patterns. Overall, Brier Terrace provides a strong and stable academic environment, effectively using its resources to achieve results that compete with schools across the region.
