Summary

Olympic View Elementary School is a public K-5 school serving 341 students in Seattle's Wedgwood neighborhood, operating as a solidly average-to-good school within the highly-rated Seattle School District No. 1.

Academically, the school's test scores are above Washington state averages in all core subjects, though they are below the district average. The school has shown some volatility in its statewide ranking over the past decade, recovering from a pandemic-era dip but not yet back to its pre-pandemic performance level. A notable strength is its program for special education students, which consistently ranks higher than the school's overall performance. However, the school faces challenges with significant achievement gaps between female and male students and uneven performance across different grade levels.

Olympic View's performance is particularly interesting when compared to nearby schools. Within a very short distance, there is extreme variation, from the state's top-ranked Cascadia Elementary to Wedgwood Elementary (97th percentile). Olympic View (66th percentile) performs similarly to schools like Olympic Hills Elementary and James Baldwin Elementary, but lags behind others with comparable student demographics, such as Sacajawea Elementary School and Green Lake Elementary School.
