Gateway Middle School

Gateway is not only a top middle school in Everett, it’s also one of the finest schools in the state of Washington. Gateway, located at 15404 Silver Firs Drive and with a student body number of 840, has a high GreatSchools rating and a perfect five-star score based on reviews from parents.

Gateway is also notable for its ability to get the most out of all students regardless of ethnicity or income level.

Eisenhower Middle School

Eisenhower is located at 10200 25th Ave SE. It has the same number of students as Gateway. Eisenhower’s 85 percent algebra 1 pass rate exceeds the state average: this is notable because middle school is the level at which most students are introduced to more complex mathematics. Eisenhower is an ethnically diverse school with students of white, black, Hispanic, and Asian backgrounds, and collectively these students do well in terms of test scores. Also, Eisenhower provides ample counselor support for its students – in fact, its students-per-counselor ratio is more than twice as strong as the state average.
