Summary

Impact | Salish Sea Elementary is a K–5 school in Seattle’s southeast Holly Park area serving 385 students. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 66.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its 2025–26 statewide ranking places it at about the 28th percentile, with a one-star rating. The school’s ranking has declined from the 48th percentile in 2023–24 and the 40th percentile in 2024–25. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 15.4, and reported spending was $18,603 per student in 2023–24.

Academic results are below Washington averages in all three tested subjects. In 2025–26, 34.95% of students were proficient in English language arts, 35.68% in math, and 45.45% in science. Math has seen the sharpest longer-term decline, falling from 51.35% in 2023–24. Fourth grade is the clearest area of concern: proficiency was 24.56% in ELA and 25.00% in math, while fifth-grade ELA was a relative bright spot at 49.09%. The school’s science results are also comparatively stronger than those at several nearby schools. Reported subgroup results are uneven, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners ranking above the school overall, while results for African American students, female students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds rank lower.

Impact is not the lowest-performing school among nearby comparisons. In 2025–26, it outperformed Emerson Elementary School, Dunlap Elementary School, and Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School in all three subjects, and exceeded Wing Luke Elementary School in math and science. However, it trails stronger nearby schools such as Hawthorne Elementary School and Dearborn Park International School. Families should note that most comparisons are part of the higher-ranked Seattle School District No. 1, while Impact is listed in a lower-ranked district context, making direct comparisons less straightforward.
