Summary

Medical Lake Middle School is a public school serving 381 students in grades 6-8 in the Medical Lake School District, a highly-rated district that ranks in the top 16% statewide.

The school consistently performs well, ranking in the top third of all Washington middle schools, and it stands out for effectively supporting its students. Despite nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, its academic results in English and Math are notably stronger than at many nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Cheney Middle School and Westwood Middle School. It achieves these results with a favorable student-teacher ratio and per-student spending that is lower than some less successful schools in the region, like Denny Yasuhara Middle School.

Key strengths include particularly strong performance from students from low-income families and military-connected families. An area for growth is 8th-grade science, where scores are slightly below the state average. While the school's performance is stable and commendable, the highest-achieving nearby schools, such as Sacajawea Middle School and Highland Middle School, serve fewer economically disadvantaged students and score higher overall.
