Summary

Lea Hill Elementary School is a public PK-5 school serving 593 students in the Auburn School District, notable for its remarkable academic improvement and strong support for all students.

The school has made an extraordinary leap forward, jumping from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in just one year, now ranking in the top 40% of all elementary schools in Washington. Its test scores in math and English now significantly outpace both the district and state averages. What's particularly impressive is that this success is shared across the student body; the school earns especially high marks for how well it supports English Language Learners and students from lower-income families, demonstrating that excellence and equity can go hand-in-hand.

When compared to its neighbors, Lea Hill stands out. It achieves a higher ranking than nearby schools like Willow Crest Elementary and Hazelwood Elementary School, even though they serve communities with lower poverty rates. Furthermore, it dramatically outperforms other high-needs schools in the area, such as Dick Scobee Elementary School and Washington Elementary School. This combination of rapid improvement, equitable results, and efficient use of resources makes Lea Hill a compelling and unique success story in the local educational landscape.
