Edmonds S. Meany Middle School up 115 spots statewide this year
Summary:

ZIP code 98112 includes four public schools serving elementary and middle-school students: McGilvra Elementary School, Montlake Elementary School, Stevens Elementary School, and Edmonds S. Meany Middle School, all part of the highly rated Seattle School District No. 1; there are three K–5 schools, one grades 6–8 school, and no public high school or alternative school listed in the ZIP code.

McGilvra and Montlake are the strongest academic options in the area. Both receive five-star ratings and rank around the 94th–95th percentiles statewide. In 2025–2026, McGilvra had the highest reported ELA and math proficiency, at 80.95% and 78.31%, while Montlake posted similarly strong results and led in science at 78.79%. Their results were well above district and state averages. Montlake also showed consistently strong rankings over several years, while McGilvra had a particularly strong recent ELA and math profile. Both schools are relatively small, with fewer than 200 students, and reported low free/reduced-price lunch rates and student-teacher ratios near 14.5 students per teacher.

Stevens presents a more mixed picture. Its science proficiency was strong at 73.68%, but ELA and math were below district averages, and its ranking fell from the 93rd percentile to the 55th percentile over the three listed years. Fourth-grade math, at 36.36%, is a notable area to investigate. Meany currently trails the elementary schools and the district, with 49.50% ELA, 46.06% math, and 53.78% science proficiency. However, it is improving: all three subjects rose from the prior year, with especially large gains in math and science, and its ranking increased to the 64th percentile. Families should also note that some grade-level results are suppressed and therefore unknown, not evidence of poor performance.
