School Overview

First Creek Middle School serves a working-class corner of Tacoma where families are deeply rooted in the community, and the school reflects that grit and resilience. The academics here are a work in progress, with scores sitting in the lower range across English, math, and science, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to weigh their options carefully. That said, Tacoma itself has a lot going for it — a revitalized downtown, proximity to Puget Sound, and a genuine sense of civic pride — and families already embedded in this part of the city will find a school that's part of the same tight-knit fabric.
