School Overview

Meridian Middle School sits in Kent, a diverse and working-class city in the heart of the Green River Valley, where families from all walks of life have planted roots over the past few decades. The school punches a bit above the middle of the pack statewide, with particularly solid science scores that stand out from its other subjects — a good sign for families with kids who light up in lab settings. It's a solid neighborhood option for families looking for a genuine, community-rooted school in an unpretentious part of King County that's close to everything but still has its own distinct identity.
