Located in Redmond, Washington, the school has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Redmond Middle School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 75.52% of Redmond Middle School students were proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to 52.63% statewide and 80.42% in the Lake Washington School District. The school also has a diverse student population, with a significant Asian student population (40.62% in 2022-2023) and a relatively low percentage of African American (4.24%) and Hispanic (10.71%) students compared to state averages.

While Redmond Middle School's performance is generally higher than nearby schools in the Lake Washington School District, such as Kirkland Middle School and Timberline Middle School, some schools like Stella Schola, a magnet school, also demonstrate exceptional academic achievement. The relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Redmond Middle School (16.76% in 2022-2023) suggests that the school may have fewer students from low-income backgrounds compared to some nearby schools, which could contribute to its high academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Very poor quality school. As a student, I have experienced the extremely disappointing measures that teachers make to push their students. I am a Quest student, but I have taken many electives with general education students. I am stunned by the negative environment they put up. Their education standards are very low and most focus on gossip rather than expanding their rather small sphere of knowledge. Quest does not do much in the curriculum to impress, either. However, the teachers actually push some truly gifted students with extra work and the environment is much more competitive for the right things, like better test scores on both fitness and academia. Be prepared to do some at home learning if you attend this school. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
