Olympic Middle School

Auburn sits in the Green River Valley, a working-class community that's grown rapidly as families priced out of Seattle and Tacoma have put down roots here. Olympic Middle School serves a diverse, mixed-income student body, and while its academic scores fall below state midpoints, it reflects the broader challenges and strengths of a community that's still finding its footing amid significant growth. Families who value a school deeply embedded in its neighborhood — and who are prepared to advocate actively for their kids' academic experience — may find Olympic a reasonable fit, particularly if they're drawn to Auburn's affordability and its improving parks and local amenities.
