Summary

Cedarhurst Elementary is a PK–5 school in Burien, Washington, serving about 399 students in the Highline School District in an area with relatively high student needs. About 69.92% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, and the student-teacher ratio was 18.9. Cedarhurst ranked 983rd out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools for 2025–26, placing it around the 14th percentile—an improvement from the 6th percentile in 2022–23.

The school’s academic results are mixed but show some encouraging signs. In 2025–26, Cedarhurst’s math proficiency rate was 26.17%, slightly above the district’s 24.30%, while ELA was 28.50% and science was 24.68%, both below district averages. Third grade was a relative strength: Cedarhurst exceeded district results in both ELA and math, and its third-grade ELA rate was higher than every nearby comparison school. However, performance fell notably by fifth grade, especially in math, where only 12.99% of students were proficient. Science is another important improvement area, with results declining from 28.38% in 2023–24 to 24.68% in 2025–26.

Cedarhurst currently outperforms nearby Hilltop Elementary, Seahurst Elementary School, and Cascade View Elementary in several subjects. More useful high-performing benchmarks may be White Center Heights Elementary and Shorewood Elementary, which serve similarly high-need communities but post stronger science results. Impact | Puget Sound Elementary is also a relevant comparison because its lunch-eligibility rate is nearly identical while its ELA, math, and science results are higher. Cedarhurst’s key priorities are strengthening fifth-grade instruction, improving science, and extending the stronger results seen in third grade.
