Summary

Evergreen Middle School is a public school serving about 810 students in grades 6-8 in Kent, Washington, and is part of the Federal Way School District.

Academic performance at Evergreen is significantly below both state and district averages, with fewer than a quarter of students proficient in English and even fewer in math and science. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of all Washington middle schools for nearly a decade. While many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Lakota Middle School and Kilo Middle School within the same district, achieve notably higher proficiency rates, indicating that challenges extend beyond demographics.

Compared to other area schools, Evergreen's academic results are among the lowest, with only Mill Creek Middle School ranking lower. The school's per-student spending is also lower than several nearby schools, including those in its own district. Performance data shows a particular need for improved support for students from low-income families and those learning English, as their academic outcomes rank in the bottom 3% statewide. Despite some fluctuations in grade-level scores, there has been no sustained trend of improvement over time.

Terrible school. Too many disruptive students with parents who don't care. School just goes with the flow of government bureaucracy. Nobody cares, nobody achieves, no discipline or incentives to learning. Any school would be better! Close Quote
