Summary

Medina Elementary School is a public PK–5 school serving 591 students in Medina, an Eastside community in the Bellevue area. It is part of the highly rated Bellevue School District, which ranks 25th of 238 Washington districts, at the 89th percentile.

Academic performance is the school’s clearest strength. In 2025–2026, Medina ranked 1st of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, continuing a long record of top-five rankings in most available years. Students posted proficiency rates of 95.07% in English language arts and 96.85% in math—the highest reported rates among the nearby comparison schools. For perspective, Cherry Crest Elementary School, another exceptional Bellevue school ranked 2nd statewide, recorded 90.21% in ELA and 91.13% in math. Medina also exceeded Woodridge Elementary, Clyde Hill Elementary, and Enatai Elementary School by substantial margins. Available grade-level results, including 92.78% third-grade ELA and 96.24% fifth-grade math, show that the strong results are not limited to one grade.

Medina’s results have remained strong over time: all-grade ELA and math proficiency stayed between 92% and 95% from 2022–2023 through 2024–2025, with science reaching 91.43% in 2024–2025. The current science results are suppressed by the state, so they are unknown—not zero or an indication of weak performance. Subgroup rankings are also excellent, including 2nd statewide among 303 schools for English language learner performance. The school had a relatively high student–teacher ratio of 21.5:1 and reported spending of $20,137 per student, showing that its outcomes do not simply coincide with the smallest classes or highest spending among nearby schools. Overall, Medina stands out for sustained, broad academic strength, with Jing Mei Elementary School providing another strong local comparison.
