Summary

Medical Lake Middle School is a public school in Medical Lake, Washington, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 381 students. Its relatively small size gives it a different feel from many nearby middle schools, which generally enroll about 537 to 855 students. The school is part of the Medical Lake School District, ranked 56th of 238 Washington districts, or in the 76th percentile statewide. The school ranked 98th of 514 Washington middle schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 81st percentile and earning a four-star rating.

Academically, Medical Lake Middle School performed above Washington’s average in every tested subject. Proficiency was 60.99% in English language arts, 51.65% in math, and 65.00% in science. Science is the school’s standout area: its 65.00% proficiency rate was the highest among the nearby comparison schools, narrowly exceeding Sacajawea Middle School. The school also improved substantially from the prior year, with gains of 6.50 percentage points in ELA and 17.25 points in science. Math was comparatively stable, and 7th-grade math, at 47.50%, is the clearest grade-level area to watch.

The school’s ranking improved from 165th in 2024–2025 to 98th in 2025–2026, placing it among the strongest schools in this comparison. It trails local benchmarks such as Sacajawea Middle School and Carla Peperzak Middle School in some ELA and math measures, but it leads them in science or comes very close. Its results also substantially exceed those of geographically nearby Cheney Middle School and Westwood Middle School. A student-teacher ratio of 15.8 and strong effectiveness rankings across several student groups add to the school’s favorable profile, while the sharp science rebound should be monitored over time.
