Summary:

Bellevue School District includes 30 schools serving students from elementary through high school, along with alternative and reengagement programs in Bellevue, Washington. It is ranked 25th of 238 Washington districts, placing it near the top statewide. The district has an exceptional group of high-performing schools: Medina Elementary School, Cherry Crest Elementary School, and Somerset Elementary School rank among Washington’s top three elementary schools. Newport Senior High School ranks fifth among state high schools, while International School has repeatedly ranked first or second statewide.

Performance varies considerably from school to school. Among middle schools, Tyee Middle School and Odle Middle School are especially strong, while Tillicum Middle School has shown notable improvement. Highland Middle School remains a concern despite recent gains in English, math, and science. At the elementary level, Lake Hills Elementary and Ardmore Elementary School have the lowest proficiency rates, while Stevenson Elementary has improved substantially in math and science. Math is the most common academic weakness, particularly at Sammamish Senior High.

Graduation outcomes also differ. Newport Senior High School reports a 95.5% graduation rate, compared with 87.6% districtwide, while Interlake Senior High School combines strong test results with a lower graduation rate and higher dropout rate. Alternative programs should be compared cautiously because their students and missions differ from traditional schools: Bellevue Digital Discovery has a 64% graduation rate, while Bellevue Big Picture School reports 89%. Parents should consider both current achievement and recent trends, and remember that suppressed figures indicate unavailable data rather than zero performance.
