Mirror Lake Elementary School

Mirror Lake Elementary sits in Federal Way, a diverse and unpretentious South King County community that often flies under the radar compared to its neighbors closer to Seattle. The school serves families who are working hard and looking for solid fundamentals, but the academic scores here suggest it's a place where building those basics is still very much a work in progress. Families who are actively involved in their child's learning and looking to supplement at home may find the most success here, and the tight-knit, multicultural character of the Federal Way community can be a real draw for those who value that kind of environment.
