Summary

Timberline Middle School is a public school serving 788 students in grades 6–8 in Redmond, Washington, within the highly regarded Lake Washington School District, an area with an unusually strong group of nearby middle schools. Timberline ranks 3rd among 514 Washington middle schools for 2025–2026 and has remained in the state’s top 1% for at least six consecutive years. The district ranks 4th of 238 statewide, giving families both a strong school and a strong district setting.

Academically, Timberline performs well above Washington averages in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 86.17% in English Language Arts, 82.29% in math, and 80.84% in science. Math is a particular strength: Timberline’s rate is higher than those at nearby Inglewood Middle School, Rose Hill Middle School, Timbercrest Middle School, and most other nearby full-size schools. Evergreen Middle School is the clearest local comparison and remains stronger overall, especially in science, but Timberline is very close in ELA and math. Timberline also exceeds Redmond Middle School, Leota Middle School, Tolt Middle School, and Highland Middle School in all three subjects.

Performance has been steady overall, with math and science improving over the past four years. Seventh grade is especially strong in both ELA and math, while 8th-grade math is a relative area to watch despite remaining above district and state levels. Timberline’s subgroup effectiveness is also broad, with especially strong statewide results for English Language Learners, special education students, and several other reported groups; results for low-income and multiracial students are still positive but less exceptional than the school’s overall standing. With solid spending and a student-teacher ratio comparable to several nearby schools, Timberline stands out as a consistently elite school rather than one benefiting only from unusually small enrollment.
