Summary

Meeker Middle School in Renton, Washington, serves 779 students in grades 6–8 and is part of the Kent School District. The school is in the lower half of Washington middle schools, ranking at the 27th percentile in 2025–2026 and receiving a one-star rating. Its proficiency rates were 37.16% in English language arts, 25.55% in math, and 36.29% in science—below both district and state averages. Meeker’s student-teacher ratio is 22.1, the highest among the nearby Kent middle schools listed, while 58.79% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Meeker’s results are mixed compared with nearby schools. It ranks below Northwood Middle School, Meridian Middle School, and Mattson Middle School, but performs considerably better than Canyon Ridge Middle School and Mill Creek Middle School. It is far behind high-performing Maywood Middle School and Maple View Middle School. The school’s statewide ranking has declined from the 52nd percentile in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 to 27th percentile currently. ELA and math have recently weakened, while science improved and reached its strongest level in the four-year period.

Math is the clearest academic concern, especially in sixth and seventh grade, where proficiency is about 23%; eighth-grade math improves to 30.61%. Eighth grade is Meeker’s relative bright spot: ELA proficiency reaches 43.78%, above the district’s eighth-grade average, and science proficiency is 36.29%. Parents may also want to ask about class sizes, math intervention, and support for English learners and students from low-income households, since these groups have relatively low effectiveness rankings. Overall, Meeker shows some strengths compared with the lowest-performing nearby schools, but its recent decline and large gap from stronger Kent schools point to a need for sustained schoolwide improvement.

Very lazy administration here. They allow rampant bullying and threats towards students and the bully is never held accountable. They do not want to hear out the students who are being bullied and do not take their complaints seriously. This school is an extremely unsafe environment. Close Quote
