Seattle Middle School Ranked As Best in Washington

Summit Atlas, located in West Seattle, was recognized by U.S. News & World Report among the best middle schools in Washington. Summit Atlas ranked #3 out of Washington charter schools and in the top 300 middle schools in the state.

For the first time, U.S. News looked at public middle schools across Washington, and ranked about 750 based on students’ performance on math and reading/language arts state assessments.

Summit Public Schools, a public school system with schools in California and Washington, has made the U.S. News & World Report rankings every year since 2009. In addition to Summit Atlas’ ranking, Summit Denali in Sunnyvale, California was ranked as a top middle school in that state.

Summit’s unique educational model helps students develop the habits and skills that lead to academic success and a fulfilled life. All Summit students graduate prepared for college, and Summit alumni complete college at twice the national average. And Summit students’ success goes beyond higher education — a recent large-scale survey found that more than three out of four of Summit alumni report feeling highly fulfilled in many areas of their lives.
