Summary

Beaver Lake Middle School in Issaquah serves approximately 699 students in grades 6–8 and is part of the highly regarded Issaquah School District, in a particularly strong school area near Pine Lake and Pacific Cascade middle schools.

Academic results are a major strength: Beaver Lake ranked 4th among 514 Washington middle schools in 2025–26 and has earned a five-star rating in every reported year. In 2025–26, 83.65% of students were proficient in English language arts, 81.41% in math, and 83.76% in science. Those results were well above both district and state averages, especially in math, where Beaver Lake exceeded the statewide rate by 38.30 percentage points. Performance is consistently strong across grades, with eighth grade reaching 85.12% proficiency in ELA and 85.06% in math. Science has shown the most dramatic recent growth, rising from 71.48% in 2022–23 to 83.76% in 2025–26.
