About Meridian Park Elementary School
Meridian Park Elementary earns an Exceptional composite score of 9.2 out of 10, ranking #1 among all 15 public schools in Shoreline and placing 33rd out of 2,225 public schools statewide. That puts it ahead of 99% of Washington schools — a standing few elementary schools in the state can match. The school serves 512 students in kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school.
Academic performance is the engine behind that ranking. A 9.8 academic score reflects consistently strong standardized test results, and a 9.2 growth score signals that students are making real gains across grade levels — not just arriving prepared, but leaving measurably more advanced than expected. That combination of high baseline and strong trajectory is what separates top-tier schools from merely good ones.
A 15.1-to-one student-teacher ratio supports classroom-level outcomes. At 512 students across six grade levels, Meridian Park maintains enough scale to offer a full program without losing instructional focus. For families weighing elementary school options in the Shoreline area, the evidence is clear: this school sits at the top of a competitive statewide field, and it earns that position on data.
