I would not recomend this school if your child is in need of special education due to a learning disability. I agree with the post from 2008. Unfortunately, this stll seems to be an issue at this school.

Stevens Middle School is committed to providing every student with a meaningful and enriching middle school experience. Teaming has enabled staff to know each student, and to accommodate the individual learning needs of all students.

I have a child at Stevens and, having been in other districts and even in other states, I have to say that there's a massive amount of apathy going on at Stevens. The kids aren't required to do much and they have no deadlines for assignments so they sort of stay in limbo about their grades for weeks at a time. It's not a very helpful system for students of this age range that need incentive to get organized and get prepared for the rigors of high school. Additionally, getting any one of these teachers on the phone or to respond to an email about grades or assignments is next to impossible. They just don't seem to care.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
