Summary

Lakeridge Middle School is a highly-rated public school serving 763 students in grades 6-8 within the top-performing Sumner-Bonney Lake School District in Bonney Lake, WA.

The school excels academically, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide, with particular strength in English Language Arts where over 82% of 7th and 8th graders are proficient—significantly outperforming nearby schools like Mountain View Middle School and Sumner Middle School. Impressively, Lakeridge achieves these strong results while serving a student population with greater economic needs than some peers and doing so with lower per-student spending than comparable schools, suggesting highly effective use of resources.

Perhaps the most notable finding is Lakeridge's exceptional effectiveness in supporting all students, ranking in the top 5% of schools statewide for the academic performance of its economically disadvantaged students. This sets it apart from other area schools with similar demographics and highlights its successful support systems. While math scores are solid and above the state average, they represent a relative area for growth compared to its stellar ELA program, and the school benefits from being part of a high-quality district that includes other top schools like North Tapps Middle School.

Great programs, kids take some classes for high school credit to get a jump-start. Building is well-kept and nice looking. There is a lot of school spirit. Close Quote

My daughter has experienced threats of physical violence at this school (in front of teachers) and little has been done to stop the behavior. The school is an unsafe environment for students. Close Quote
