Summary

Kenmore Middle School is a public middle school serving 733 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-regarded Northshore School District in Kenmore, Washington.

Academically, Kenmore Middle is a solid 4-star school that consistently outperforms Washington state averages in English, math, and science. However, within its own high-performing district, it trails behind nearby peers like Skyview Middle School and Canyon Park Middle School in test scores. This context is important: while it ranks in the middle within Northshore, Kenmore would be a top performer in neighboring districts such as Edmonds School District, outperforming schools like College Place Middle School.

The school faces a notable challenge in supporting all student groups equitably, with significant performance gaps between different subgroups. Interestingly, Kenmore Middle spends more per student than its district peers but achieves lower results, whereas a school with similar demographics and spending, Brier Terrace Middle School in Edmonds, achieves higher math proficiency. Parents may also note an unusual trend where math scores tend to decline by 8th grade, while English scores improve, and that male students slightly outperform female students here, which is atypical for middle schools.
