Summary:
Medina, Washington, has one listed public school serving students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade: Medina Elementary School. The school enrolls 591 students and is part of the Bellevue School District. Because there are no listed middle schools, high schools, or alternative schools within the city, families will need to look outside Medina for later grades. Medina is a relatively affluent community, reflected in the school’s reported 5.58% free or reduced-price lunch participation, though that measure does not capture every aspect of family circumstances.
Medina Elementary School is an exceptional academic performer. In 2025–2026, 95.07% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 96.85% were proficient in math. Those results exceeded the district by 21.64 percentage points in ELA and 27.24 points in math, while exceeding Washington statewide results by 42.26 and 53.74 points, respectively. Fifth-grade results were also especially strong, including 94.66% proficiency in ELA and 96.24% in math. Some grade-level results, including current science results, were suppressed to protect privacy and should be viewed as unavailable rather than weak.
The school’s performance has been consistently strong rather than limited to one year. It ranked first statewide in 2025–2026, fourth in 2024–2025, and third in 2023–2024, earning five stars each year. ELA proficiency increased from 92.47% to 95.07% and math proficiency from 93.45% to 96.85% over the most recent two years. The school reported 91.43% science proficiency in 2024–2025, but no current school-level science percentage is available. Its 21.5:1 student-teacher ratio is relatively high, so the results cannot be attributed simply to unusually small staffing ratios. Overall, the available data portray Medina Elementary as one of Washington’s strongest and most consistently successful elementary schools.
