Summary:

Seattle School District No. 1 includes 73 elementary-level schools serving primarily kindergarten through fifth grade, along with several prekindergarten–fifth-grade and K–8 schools across the Seattle area. Overall, the district performs well compared with Washington, averaging 68.13% proficiency in English language arts, 60.24% in math, and 65.01% in science—well above state averages. However, results vary widely from school to school, so families should consider both current achievement and longer-term trends.

The strongest current performers include West Woodland Elementary, ranked eighth statewide, along with Frantz Coe Elementary, Bryant Elementary, Greenwood Elementary, John Stanford International, and View Ridge Elementary. These schools generally demonstrate strong, balanced results in ELA, math, and science. West Woodland leads the supplied data in both ELA and math, while Bryant and West Woodland report the highest science proficiency. Historically exceptional Cascadia Elementary has suppressed current results but ranked first statewide in several previous years.

Families comparing schools should also note the substantial range in outcomes. Concord International, Emerson, Lowell, Dunlap, and Roxhill report considerably lower proficiency across multiple subjects. Among K–8 schools, math often declines in grades six through eight at Louisa Boren STEM, Broadview-Thomson, South Shore, and Hazel Wolf, although Catharine Blaine, Salmon Bay, and Tops show stronger middle-grade results. Recent momentum at Lafayette and Orca is also worth noting.
