Summary

Black Diamond Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 414 students in the Enumclaw School District, a solidly performing district ranked in the top quarter of the state.

The school is a stable, 3-star performer that ranks above the state average in English and Math, but its Science scores are an area for improvement. It shows notable strengths, including excellent progress in supporting students from lower-income families and strong performance by Hispanic students. However, a significant performance gap exists between female and male students that the school will need to address. Compared to its district peer, Westwood Elementary School, Black Diamond trails slightly in overall ranking and test scores. It significantly outperforms schools with similar student demographics in neighboring districts like Kent School District and Auburn School District, such as Cedar Valley Elementary School and Jenkins Creek Elementary School.

Like nearly all elementary schools in the region, Black Diamond faces a systemic challenge with a sharp drop in fifth-grade math scores. While the school is effective within its resources, its performance is notably lower than nearby schools in the top-ranked Tahoma School District, such as Lake Wilderness Elementary and Rock Creek Elementary, highlighting how district-level factors influence outcomes. For families in the Enumclaw district, Black Diamond Elementary represents a consistent, mid-performing option with clear strengths and identified areas for growth.
