Summary

Somerset Elementary School is a top-ranked K-5 public school serving 741 students in the Bellevue School District, consistently placing among the very best elementary schools in Washington state.

For the 2024-2025 school year, Somerset ranks 5th out of over 1,100 elementary schools statewide, a position it has maintained for nearly a decade. Its academic results are exceptional, with over 90% of students proficient in English, Math, and Science, significantly outperforming both district and state averages. This excellence is consistent across all grade levels and extends to serving diverse student groups; for example, the school has been ranked #1 in Washington for English Language Learner performance for three years running. Interestingly, Somerset achieves these outstanding results while spending less per student than several nearby schools, such as Lake Hills Elementary and Newport Heights Elementary.

When compared to other high-performing schools in the area, Somerset stands apart. It holds a substantial lead in test scores over the next highest-performing nearby schools, including Woodridge Elementary and Cougar Ridge Elementary in the Issaquah School District. The school's elite ranking is also remarkably stable, unlike some peers whose state rankings fluctuate more from year to year. This sustained excellence, combined with effective support for all students, solidifies Somerset's reputation as a premier educational institution within a region already known for several other highly-rated elementary schools.
