Summary

Meadowdale Middle School is a public school for grades 7 and 8 in Lynnwood, WA, serving about 740 students in the Edmonds School District, and it stands out for achieving solid academic results while serving a student population with significant economic need.

Academically, the school consistently outperforms both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science, and its statewide ranking has improved steadily over the last five years. A key strength is its effectiveness with specific student groups, particularly ranking in the 88th percentile for African American students. However, the school faces a notable challenge in serving its Special Education students, where performance is significantly lower. When compared to nearby schools like Alderwood Middle School or College Place Middle School, which have similar levels of student need, Meadowdale achieves stronger test scores, suggesting effective school-level programs.

Within its own Edmonds School District, Meadowdale's performance is strong but trails the highest achievers like Brier Terrace Middle School, which serves a less economically disadvantaged population. Meadowdale operates with higher per-student spending and class sizes than some peers, raising questions about resource efficiency. Overall, the school demonstrates a capacity to support student success amid economic challenges, though improving outcomes for Special Education students remains a clear opportunity for growth.
