Summary

Bennett Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Bellevue, Washington, serving 513 students at 17900 NE 16th Street in a relatively low-poverty area, with 7.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. It is part of the Bellevue School District and ranks 110th of 1,138 Washington schools, placing it in the 90th percentile and among the state’s stronger elementary schools.

Bennett’s clearest academic strength is mathematics: 76.17% of students were proficient, compared with 69.61% in the district and 43.11% statewide. English language arts proficiency was also strong at 74.88%, while science proficiency was 66.18%—well above the state average but below the district’s 72.30%. Bennett had the highest ELA and math results among the nearby Bellevue schools shown. It ranked just ahead of Spiritridge Elementary School, which ranked 115th statewide. The nearby Lake Washington School District schools—Elizabeth Blackwell Elementary, Margaret Mead Elementary, and John J. Audubon Elementary—ranked higher overall, particularly because of stronger science results.

The main area to watch is fifth grade. Bennett’s fifth-grade proficiency was 68.18% in ELA, 60.29% in math, and 66.18% in science, substantially below its strong third- and fourth-grade results. Science also fell from 81.16% the previous year to 66.18%, while ELA and math remained fairly stable. This suggests a concentrated need in upper-elementary instruction rather than a broad decline across the school. Bennett’s student-teacher ratio was 18.2:1, and reported subgroup effectiveness was generally strong, including a 95th-percentile ranking for special education students. Overall, Bennett remains a very strong school, with its best opportunity to move closer to the area’s top schools likely coming from improving fifth-grade ELA, math, and especially science.
