Summary

Phantom Lake Elementary is a public elementary school serving about 430 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the highly-regarded Bellevue School District.

The school is a consistent, strong performer that stands out for its effective support of a diverse student body. While not the absolute top-ranked school in the area, it achieves impressive academic results, particularly in science, while serving a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds than many neighboring schools. For example, it significantly outperforms nearby Stevenson Elementary (which has a higher poverty rate) and holds its own against schools like Sunset Elementary in the Issaquah School District, despite serving nearly twice as many students in need. Phantom Lake is especially notable for its success with English Language Learners, where it has historically ranked among the best in the state.

Within the Bellevue School District, Phantom Lake occupies an important middle ground, performing well above other district schools with similar student demographics like Sherwood Forest Elementary and Lake Hills Elementary, though not reaching the peak test scores of schools like Bennett Elementary or Woodridge Elementary that serve more affluent populations. The school shows a pattern of students making strong academic growth, with performance improving in the upper grades, and it has maintained stable ratings for over a decade.
