Summary:

Renton School District includes 28 schools serving elementary, middle, high school, and alternative-program students in Renton, Newcastle, and parts of Seattle. The district is ranked 114th of 238 Washington districts, but school quality varies widely. Parents will find several highly rated schools alongside campuses that need significant academic improvement, so comparing individual schools is especially important.

The strongest academic options include Hazelwood Elementary School, ranked in the state’s 94th percentile, and Maplewood Heights Elementary School, ranked in the 91st percentile. Sartori Elementary School also has consistently strong results. Among middle schools, Vera Risdon Middle School is the clear leader, exceeding district and state averages in English language arts, math, and science. Hazen Senior High School is the leading traditional high school, with an 87.1% graduation rate, strong academic results, and a ranking that improved substantially over three years. Lindbergh Senior High School has also made notable progress, particularly in English language arts.

Schools needing the closest attention include Highlands Elementary School, Honey Dew Elementary, and Renton Park Elementary School, where proficiency is well below district and state averages. Nelsen Middle School and Dimmitt Middle School show particular weakness in math. At the high-school level, Renton Senior High School has lower graduation and academic results than Hazen and Lindbergh, while Talley High School and Open Door Youth Reengagement serve specialized student populations and should not be compared directly with comprehensive high schools. Recent gains at Cascade Elementary School, Dimmitt, and Tiffany Park Elementary School are encouraging.
