of 1,160 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 93% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Apollo Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 496 students in Renton, Washington, and it stands out as a top-performing school within the highly-regarded Issaquah School District.

The school consistently earns 5-star ratings, ranking in the top 10% of Washington elementary schools, with student proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science that are significantly higher than the state average. A key differentiator is its district; the Issaquah School District is ranked 3rd in the state, while neighboring schools in the Renton School District and Kent School District typically rank much lower. This creates a striking contrast even within the same community, as Apollo Elementary is located less than a mile from Hilltop Heritage Elementary School, yet their academic performance differs dramatically.

Apollo shows particular strengths in serving various student groups and has demonstrated impressive recent improvement in supporting special education and English language learner students. While per-student spending is high, the analysis shows that effective use of resources and strong district-level support in Issaquah are major factors in its success, more so than spending alone. Other high-performing schools in the area include Newcastle Elementary School and Briarwood Elementary, which are also in the Issaquah district, while Maplewood Heights Elementary School is a notable high-performer within the Renton district.
