Summary

Issaquah Valley Elementary is a K–5 school serving 646 students in Issaquah, Washington, within the highly regarded Issaquah School District, an area known for exceptionally strong elementary schools.

Issaquah Valley performs well above Washington averages, ranking 209th of 1,138 elementary schools, in the 82nd percentile, for 2025–26. Its proficiency rates were 65.23% in English language arts, 62.83% in math, and 77.08% in science—well above statewide rates of 52.81%, 43.11%, and 50.95%, respectively. Science is the school’s strongest relative subject and is nearly equal to the district average. ELA has remained steady at about 65% in recent years, while math has been more uneven. Fourth-grade math is the clearest area for attention, with 57.43% proficiency compared with 79.86% districtwide; fifth-grade ELA and math results were stronger than fourth-grade results but still below district averages.

The school’s local comparisons are more challenging because nearby schools are among Washington’s highest performers. Endeavour Elementary School, Grand Ridge Elementary, and Sunny Hills Elementary rank in the state’s top 2%, while Discovery Elementary and Creekside Elementary also rank substantially higher. Issaquah Valley trails every listed nearby school in current math proficiency, although its science results compare favorably with several. The school also serves a more economically diverse population than most nearby schools, with 26.16% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Parent-relevant priorities include improving math, especially in fourth grade; reviewing the low-SES subgroup’s 11th-percentile effectiveness rating; and building on improving English-language-learner outcomes and strong science performance.

I have following up with the principal for months regarding kids get bulleted at school, however, the school management did very minimul to it as to take it seriously. They do not give you feed back on how they deal with the situation or to remedy it happen. The situation get worse and worse and no response from school Close Quote
