Summary

John J. Audubon Elementary is a highly-ranked public K-5 school serving 431 students in Redmond, Washington, within the Lake Washington School District, known for its consistent, top-tier academic performance.

The school stands out for its decade-long record of excellence, consistently ranking in the top 5% of all Washington elementary schools. It achieves strong, balanced results in English, math, and science across all grade levels, and it shows exceptional effectiveness in supporting specific student groups, such as English Language Learners and students in special education—the latter showing one of the most dramatic improvements in the state in recent years. This success is achieved with a per-student spending level that is efficient compared to many neighboring schools.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools highlight Audubon's strengths. While other top performers like Elizabeth Blackwell Elementary and Margaret Mead Elementary in the same district post similar high rankings, Audubon's performance is remarkably consistent. Furthermore, the analysis reveals significant disparities between school districts in close proximity; most Lake Washington School District schools in the area rank very high, while some nearby schools in the Bellevue School District, such as Stevenson Elementary, have much lower rankings despite similar or even higher spending, suggesting factors beyond simple funding or location drive these outcomes.
