Summary

The school ranks 74th out of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it in the 86th percentile and earning four stars. Its recent progress is especially notable: it rose from 223rd in 2020–21 to 74th in 2025–26, moving from roughly average statewide performance to the upper tier.

English Language Arts is the school’s clearest academic strength. In 2025–26, 68.93% of students were proficient, compared with 65.02% in the district and 52.81% statewide. Results were strong in both grades, reaching 71.21% in seventh grade. Math proficiency was 51.81%—well above the 43.11% state average—but slightly below the district’s 54.21%, making math the most important opportunity for continued improvement. Compared with nearby North Lake Middle School, which ranks 75th, Lake Stevens performs better in ELA while North Lake has a small advantage in math. Valley View Middle School ranks slightly higher at 69th and has similar ELA results, while Lake Stevens remains ahead of most other listed nearby schools.

The school’s improvement extends across many student groups, with particularly strong statewide subgroup rankings for Hispanic students and students from low-income households. Special education performance has improved substantially, though it remains the clearest area for additional attention. Lake Stevens also reports a favorable 17.6 student-teacher ratio, lower than those at North Lake, Valley View, and Eisenhower Middle School. Its 32.72% free/reduced-price lunch rate reflects a moderate economic-need profile compared with nearby schools. Overall, the school combines strong current results with substantial recent momentum, especially in ELA and math.
