Meeker Middle School

Meeker Middle School sits in the southeastern corner of Renton, a city that's grown considerably as families have been priced out of Seattle and Bellevue but still want to stay close to job centers and the outdoors. The school serves a diverse, working-class community, and while its academic scores land in the middle-to-lower range for Washington state, it may be a comfortable fit for families who value a multicultural environment and want a neighborhood school with a genuine sense of community. Families who prioritize extracurriculars, social development, or simply finding a welcoming place to land in a fast-changing region may find Meeker worth a closer look.
