What is the best middle school in Tacoma?
Mason Middle School in Tacoma, Washington ranks first among middle schools in Tacoma with a Success Index (US) of 70.7 out of 100 (Enrollment: 639).
How are middle schools in Tacoma ranked?

Each factor is a percentile against schools of the same type across United States. Schools with fewer than 60 students are excluded from rankings.
Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
