Summary

Gateway Middle School is a large grades 6–8 school in Everett, Washington, serving 1,057 students in a suburban area of the Everett School District. It ranks 22nd out of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it in the 96th percentile, and has received a five-star rating. Gateway’s performance has remained near the top statewide for years, suggesting its results are consistently strong rather than the product of a single unusually successful year.

Gateway’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 79.73% in English Language Arts, 69.07% in math, and 74.45% in science. Those were the highest ELA and math results among the comparison schools provided. Gateway also came within 0.86 percentage points of Skyview Middle School in science and outperformed highly rated Heatherwood Middle School in ELA and math. Its results exceeded the Everett School District average in every reported grade and subject. Sixth-grade ELA was especially strong at 81.39%, while eighth-grade math was the clearest area to monitor at 62.19%, below the rates in sixth and seventh grade but still well above district and state averages.

Gateway’s reported free- or reduced-price lunch rate was 17.6%, similar to Skyview and Canyon Park Middle School, and lower than rates at Eisenhower Middle School and Evergreen Middle School. Importantly, Gateway ranked in the 96th percentile statewide for students from low-income households, with strong results also reported for special education and English language learner students. The school reported a relatively high 24:1 student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than most comparison schools. Math and science results declined somewhat in the latest year, but Gateway remains a sustained top-tier school with broad academic strengths.
