Summary

Alki Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school (PK-5) serving 269 students in the Alki neighborhood of West Seattle, operating within the Seattle School District No. 1.

The school consistently ranks in the top 10-20% of all Washington elementary schools, with student proficiency in English, math, and science significantly exceeding state averages. A particular standout is its exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide in 2023-2024. Alki achieves these strong results efficiently, spending less per student than many nearby schools like Beacon Hill International School or Pathfinder K-8 School while maintaining a solid student-teacher ratio.

Alki is part of a cluster of high-performing West Seattle schools, including Genesee Hill Elementary and Lafayette Elementary School, which all show strong academic results. While its performance remains excellent, recent data shows a slight dip in its statewide ranking and math scores, a trend worth monitoring. Compared to schools serving higher-need populations like West Seattle Elementary School or Roxhill Elementary School, Alki operates with a lower rate of economic disadvantage, which correlates with the broader performance patterns seen across the area's schools.
