Summary

College Place Middle School is a public school in Lynnwood, Washington, serving 479 students in grades 7–8 within the Edmonds School District. It is the smallest of the district’s four middle schools in this comparison and serves a diverse suburban community north of Seattle. The school ranks in the 63rd percentile among Washington middle schools for 2025–26, an improvement from the 45th percentile in 2023–24.

The clearest strength is English Language Arts, where 56.68% of students were proficient—above the state average of 52.81%. ELA performance has risen from 44.89% in 2022–23, with similar results in seventh and eighth grade. Mathematics is the main concern: 37.27% of students were proficient, below both the state and district averages, and eighth-grade performance was weaker than seventh grade. Science proficiency was 49.36%, roughly near the state average but below the district. Within the Edmonds School District, Alderwood Middle School scores lower overall, while Meadowdale Middle School and Brier Terrace Middle School are stronger, especially in math.

Compared with nearby schools in other districts, College Place’s ELA result is close to Harbour Pointe Middle School, but its math and science results trail higher-performing schools such as Skyview Middle School, Canyon Park Middle School, Kenmore Middle School, Albert Einstein Middle School, and Kellogg Middle School. Its 19.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending near Meadowdale’s suggest that math improvement, targeted support, and consistent results for low-income and special education students are more important priorities than simply adding resources. Overall, College Place is improving, with ELA momentum, but families should focus most closely on its plan to strengthen mathematics.

Monday, November 6, 2017

For honor classes, technology and access daily to student progress, this school is top-notch. Every student has a school-issued Chromebook and access to learning technology. This is virtually mandatory in an age where media literacy and digital citizenship are necessary educational elements. Close Quote
