Summary

Spiritridge Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 546 students in Bellevue’s Bellevue School District, an area with many strong-performing elementary schools and convenient comparisons across nearby Bellevue and Issaquah neighborhoods. The school ranks 115th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 90th percentile statewide and earning four out of five stars. Its latest ranking is a clear improvement from the 85th percentile in each of the prior two years, although it remains below its exceptional 2020–2023 results.

Academically, Spiritridge Elementary School performs well above Washington averages. In 2025–2026, 70.49% of students were proficient in English language arts, 73.03% in math, and 76.24% in science. Math and science were both above district averages, while ELA was slightly below the district rate. Math improved especially strongly, rising 5.68 points from the previous year, and ELA rose 4.28 points. Science remained consistently strong. One important area for parents to watch is fifth-grade math: proficiency was 60%, compared with 78.16% in third grade and 79% in fourth grade, and below the district’s fifth-grade rate of 70.58%. Fifth-grade ELA was also lower than the school’s overall rate.

Compared with nearby schools, Spiritridge Elementary School is strong but not among the area’s top performers. It trails Somerset Elementary School, Cougar Ridge Elementary, Creekside Elementary, and Woodridge Elementary, but is ahead of Puesta del Sol Elementary School, Phantom Lake Elementary, Stevenson Elementary, and Lake Hills Elementary. Its support for English Language Learners stands out, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide, while recent results also show substantial improvement for special education and low-income students. Overall, it is a strong school with positive momentum and a clear need to address fifth-grade math.

What people are saying

Tuesday, September 22, 2015

Most of the teachers at this school are lovely...although having said that we did have a pretty bad year last year with one teacher who managed to make my quite bright 8 year-old have very low self-confidence in many schooling areas. Luckily already 3 weeks into the following school year his new teacher has helped hugely and he's nearly back to his old self.

One thing I've noticed, though, is that the support for very bright (but not gifted) children isn't great at this school. My older son "just missed out" on the gifted program, but consistently scores 98th-99th percentile on his reading and math star tests. The teachers seem to be bound to follow the general curriculum with all children in their class rather than extending children who already understand a particular unit of study. This leads to a fair bit of boredom. I say it's not great "at this school" because at another school in the same district, we had a brilliant teacher who moved my younger son into math topics for the year above around half-way through the year, thereby keeping him challenged and learning.

This is an amazing school. The ambiance, the Pricipal, the teachers, support staff are all superb. The curriculum is great, and the kids get excellent education here.
My daughter can't wait for Monday every weekend. I can't think of a single negative remark to say about this school. Close Quote
