of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Summary

Lake Hills Elementary is a public PK–5 school serving 498 students at 14310 SE 12th Street in Bellevue, Washington, near Puesta del Sol Elementary School and Phantom Lake Elementary. It is part of the high-performing Bellevue School District, which ranks 25th of 238 Washington districts, but Lake Hills’ own results are considerably weaker: the school ranks 906th of 1,138 elementary schools statewide, in the 20th percentile, with a 1-star rating.

In 2025–26, 31.94% of students were proficient in English language arts, 34.48% in math, and 28.05% in science. These results trail district averages by 41.49, 35.13, and 44.25 percentage points, respectively. Science is the clearest concern, especially in fifth grade. Fifth-grade math proficiency was also low at 27.50%, while fourth-grade math was the school’s strongest tested result at 43.33%. Lake Hills’ performance has generally weakened since 2022–23, with declines of 7.96 points in ELA and 5.28 points in science. Nearby schools provide a sharp contrast: Puesta del Sol Elementary School recorded 59.89% ELA, 53.71% math, and 60.00% science proficiency, while Phantom Lake Elementary reached 76.47% in science.

Lake Hills serves a higher-need student population than most nearby schools, with 66.27% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. That context matters when comparing it with schools such as Somerset Elementary School or Bennett Elementary School, which have much lower reported rates. Still, Sherwood Forest Elementary and Stevenson Elementary serve relatively high-need populations and post somewhat stronger overall results. Lake Hills has a favorable 15.0 student-teacher ratio and relatively high per-student spending, suggesting that improvement may depend on how resources are targeted. Key priorities include early literacy, foundational math, fifth-grade support, science instruction, and stronger services for English learners and students receiving special education.

My daughter goes to Kindergarten in Lake Hills. I don't find any reason why it has been low rated. May be rating is based in results from grade 3 to 5.

I spoke to few other parents and they are also so satisfied with the staff and the teachers. We get regular home works, interaction with the staff and principal. Close Quote
