Sequoyah Middle School

Sequoyah Middle School serves the southern edge of the Federal Way district in Auburn, a working-class community where families tend to be deeply rooted and community ties run strong. Academics here are a work in progress, with test scores sitting in the lower range statewide, so families who prioritize academics may want to look at supplemental support or enrichment outside of school. That said, Auburn itself is an affordable and increasingly diverse place to put down roots, with easy access to both Seattle and Tacoma — and for families already in the neighborhood, Sequoyah is a familiar, community-connected option for the middle school years.
