Summary

Camelot Elementary School serves 292 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Auburn, although it is part of the Federal Way School District. It is a small school in an area with substantial economic need: 69.52% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Camelot has a 3-star rating, a 14.2 student-teacher ratio, and a 2025–2026 statewide ranking of 548th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it at the 52nd percentile.

Camelot’s recent progress is one of its most notable strengths. Its ranking rose from the 9th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 52nd percentile in 2025–2026, while proficiency improved in every reported subject since 2022–2023. In 2025–2026, 49.21% of students met standards in English language arts, 46.40% in math, and 50.00% in science. These results exceeded the district averages of 38.33%, 27.11%, and 32.42%, respectively. Camelot was also generally stronger than nearby district schools such as Mark Twain Elementary School, Star Lake Elementary School, Lake Dolloff Elementary School, and Wildwood Elementary School.

The school is not the top local performer in every area: Nautilus K-8 School and Evergreen Heights Elementary often posted higher results, while Valhalla Elementary School led Camelot in science. Still, Camelot’s math and science results were near or above Washington’s statewide rates, and its English language learner subgroup ranked at the 73rd percentile. Fifth-grade ELA was a strength at 57.89%, while fourth-grade ELA and fifth-grade math merit monitoring. Overall, Camelot stands out as a rapidly improving school that performs considerably better than its district’s overall 23rd-percentile standing.

Great school. Great teachers. Too many kids/teacher ratio. Close Quote

I love this school! My son is in the Special Educational program here and I couldn't be happier! I love his teachers, I love the office staff, I can't really say enough about how happy this school makes me. I really like how the bus drivers do not let the kids off the buses till teachers meet them at the curb. There is always an Auburn school district safety patrol officer out in the parking lot, too. I know my son is safe here. The teachers really care! My son's teacher always comes out to my car when I am picking up my son and tells me how his day went. Talk about class A treatment! The communication with parents is outstanding! It is not all about the bottom line here, but about the child as a whole. The school is designed not to negatively reprimand the students, but they use positive reinforcement to get the results they want. They truly go the extra mile here. My son has never been happier. He loves his school and wants to go every day. Schools like this are a rarity! I highly recommend this school. Close Quote
