Summary

Hazelwood Elementary School is a K–5 school in Auburn, Washington, serving 502 students in an area with several nearby elementary schools, including Lea Hill Elementary School and Willow Crest Elementary. Hazelwood ranks 523rd of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 54th percentile with a three-star rating. That makes it the third-highest-ranked school among the listed nearby schools, behind Lea Hill and Willow Crest and ahead of schools such as Chinook Elementary School, Washington Elementary School, and Horizon Elementary School.

Hazelwood’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 50.00% in English language arts, 48.12% in math, and 50.00% in science. These results were above the Auburn School District averages in every subject, with the largest advantage in math. Hazelwood ranked third among the comparison schools in both ELA and math and second in science. Its third-grade math result was especially strong at 66.67%, higher than every listed nearby school, while fifth-grade math was a clear concern at 32.53%. By comparison, both Lea Hill and Willow Crest exceeded 60% in fifth-grade math. Recent trends are mixed: ELA and science improved from the prior year, while math declined modestly. Hazelwood’s 52.19% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is lower than that of the other listed local schools, an important factor when comparing outcomes.

The school’s 16.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $19,225 per-student spending are broadly middle-of-the-range locally, rather than unusually low or high. Hazelwood appears to be a solid local performer, with particularly encouraging results in math, science, and service to low-income students and English learners. Families may want to ask how the school supports fifth-grade math, whether the recent improvement in ELA and science is continuing, and what steps are being taken to rebuild performance toward Hazelwood’s stronger rankings from earlier years. Willow Crest Elementary and Lea Hill Elementary School are the most useful nearby benchmarks because they currently outperform Hazelwood overall.

My son attends first grade at Hazelwood and it is an excellent school. The teachers are great and are very welcoming of parents into the school to be part of the students education. Their programs such as LAP provide students with excellent learning tools to perfect their reading and Math skills. I have been very impressed so far. Close Quote
