Summary
Albert Einstein Middle School serves 1,032 students in grades 6–8 in Shoreline, a community north of Seattle, as part of the highly ranked Shoreline School District. The school ranks 92nd out of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it in the 82nd percentile with a 4-star rating. Its statewide standing is strong, although several nearby Seattle schools rank considerably higher. Einstein’s overall results are above Washington averages in English language arts, math, and science, with science standing out as its signature strength.
In 2025–2026, 62.33% of students were proficient in ELA, 51.10% in math, and 69.54% in science. ELA and math were below district averages, while science exceeded the district by 3.05 percentage points and the state by 18.59 points. Results improved notably by eighth grade: proficiency reached 65.00% in ELA, 60.00% in math, and 69.54% in science. Compared with nearby Kellogg Middle School, Einstein had similar overall standing, slightly higher ELA, slightly lower math, and much stronger science. Its student-teacher ratio was also lower. The main academic opportunity is strengthening math, particularly in sixth and seventh grades.
Einstein trails top nearby schools such as Eckstein Middle School, Whitman Middle School, and Robert Eagle Staff Middle School in ELA and math, but its science performance is much more competitive. ELA was essentially stable in the latest year, math dipped slightly, and science rose sharply from 57.06% to 69.54%. Families may also want to review subgroup effectiveness: the school’s English learner rating was at the 48th percentile, while results for students receiving special education services and students from low-income households were in the mid-to-upper 60s. Overall, Einstein offers a solid academic foundation, especially in science and eighth grade, with clear opportunities to improve early-grade math and ensure consistently strong support across student groups.
