Nisqually Middle School

Nisqually Middle School sits in Lacey, a steadily growing community on the eastern edge of the Olympia metro area, where suburban neighborhoods mix with nearby parks and outdoor access to the South Sound region. The school serves a broad cross-section of families in North Thurston Public Schools, and while its academic scores fall in the lower-middle range statewide, many families in the area appreciate the district's commitment to serving a diverse and military-connected community given its proximity to JBLM. Families looking for a neighborhood school with a strong sense of community — and who are engaged in supplementing academics at home — tend to find Lacey a genuinely welcoming place to put down roots.
