Summary

Edmonds S. Meany Middle School is a public school in Seattle, WA, serving about 500 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Seattle School District No. 1.

Academic performance at Meany is a mixed picture. While the school has adequate resources, with per-student spending and class sizes comparable to or better than many neighbors, its overall test scores in English, math, and science are significantly below the district average and well behind top-performing schools like Hamilton International Middle School and Eckstein Middle School. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years. Notably, performance tends to drop in the 7th and 8th grades after a stronger start in 6th grade.

Perhaps the most critical finding is the extreme variation in how well the school serves different groups of students. Some student groups perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 10% statewide, while others perform far below average. This creates a significant performance gap within the school itself. Compared to other Seattle middle schools with similar levels of economic need, such as Washington Middle School, Meany's overall academic outcomes are lower, suggesting challenges with instructional effectiveness or resource allocation that impact many students.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Wednesday, March 4, 2020

Leadership is horrible. You have a few good teachers who try to do the right thing but Oatis and Foyston have favorite teachers who they are cool with and hang out with outside of school who let them get away with anything. There are teachers that curse with students and engage in personal conversations about drugs and sex. Students are bullying other students and taking drugs on campus and these issues are being swept under the rug. Please change the leadership at this school so we can have a successful middle school in the area. Close Quote

The principal and AP, Oatis and Foyston, are incompetent as leaders and disciplinarians. Bullying and harassment happen every day with no consequence. Abysmal leadership. Some really good redeeming teachers and staff. The kids deserve and need better leadership. Close Quote
