Summary

Ridgewood Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school (PK-5) serving 412 students in Renton, Washington, and operates within the Kent School District.

Academically, Ridgewood is a consistent standout, ranking in the top 10-20% of all Washington elementary schools for the past decade. Its students significantly outperform both district and state averages, with over 71% proficient in English and 73% proficient in Math and Science. This excellence is particularly notable because the school achieves these results within a mid-tier district, outperforming nearby schools in the same district like Carriage Crest Elementary School, Glenridge Elementary, and Fairwood Elementary School by wide margins, and competing closely with schools in the highly-ranked Issaquah School District such as Briarwood Elementary.

The school demonstrates remarkable effectiveness with all students, ranking in the 98th percentile for supporting low-income students and the 90th percentile for English Language Learners. It also uses resources efficiently, spending less per student than some lower-performing peers. While nearby Lake Youngs Elementary School is also strong, Ridgewood's decade of stable, high performance suggests a deeply effective and resilient school culture that successfully supports every child who walks through its doors.
