Meany Middle School is a public school serving the diverse residents of mid-central Seattle.

Our community of students, staff, families and neighbors work to ensure that each student acquires the knowledge, skills, and core values necessary to achieve personal success and to enrich the world. We are student focused, building confidence through the critical transition between elementary school and high school.

As a neighborhood school the majority of our students live in the area we serve – 92% of our student body lives in the Meany attendance area.
