Summary

Meadowdale High School is a large public high school serving about 1,500 students in grades 9-12 within the Edmonds School District in Lynnwood, WA, consistently ranking in the top third of high schools statewide.

The school has a clear strength in English Language Arts, where its proficiency rate is the highest among district high schools like Lynnwood High School and Edmonds Woodway High School. Most notably, Meadowdale boasts the highest graduation rate in the district at over 92%, with a very low dropout rate. However, there is a significant gap in math performance, where proficiency lags behind the district average and nearby schools such as Kamiak High School in the Mukilteo School District.

While Meadowdale achieves these strong graduation outcomes with moderate per-student spending compared to some peers, there are indications the school is facing new challenges in supporting its economically diverse student population. Families should note that while Meadowdale is a solid performer within its district, some schools in neighboring districts like Henry M. Jackson High School rank higher academically.

Meadowdale High School recently held their first Equity Summit, and I appreciated the opportunity to sit beside my students and be challenged in my thinking. More work to be done, for sure. . . but a great start. Close Quote
