Summary

Meridian Park Elementary School is a 589-student K–5 school in Shoreline, part of the Shoreline School District. In 2025–26, 84% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 80% in math and 79% in science. The most important finding for families is that the school’s results are exceptional across all three subjects, not just one.

Compared with district and state results, Meridian Park was ahead by 17 and 32 percentage points in ELA, 20 and 36 points in math, and 12 and 28 points in science, respectively. It also led nearby K–5 schools in ELA and math and ranked first in science among the six nearby schools with reported results. Its results exceeded nearby K–5 averages by 21 points in ELA, 15 in math and 16 in science; ELA was its clearest local advantage. Grade 4 was a particular strength: math proficiency was 84%, compared with 72% in grade 5.

The main trend to watch is science, which fell from 90% in 2022–23 to 79% in 2025–26, although it remains well above the state. ELA was nearly unchanged over that period, and math declined by about 1 point. SchoolDigger gives Meridian Park five stars and ranks it 32nd of 1,138 Washington schools, at the 97th percentile; its overall percentile has ranged from 92 to 97 in the years reported. Context measures include a student–teacher ratio of 17.1, above the 15.5 average for nearby K–5 schools with reported ratios, and a free/reduced-lunch rate of 34%, compared with a nearby-school average of 29%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings rose sharply from 2024–25 to 2025–26: English Language Learner students moved from the 81st to the 97th percentile, and Special Education students from the 82nd to the 99th, indicating much stronger relative rankings for both groups.
