Summary

Clark Elementary is a public school in Issaquah serving 586 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade. It is part of the highly ranked Issaquah School District, an area with many exceptionally strong elementary schools. Clark ranks 130th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 89th percentile statewide and earning four stars. Its ranking has improved substantially from 478th in 2015–16, showing a positive long-term direction.

Academically, Clark performs well above Washington averages: 74.07% of students are proficient in English language arts, 68.35% in math, and 77.45% in science. Science is the school’s strongest relative subject, nearly matching the district average, while math is the clearest area for improvement. Results vary by grade: fourth grade is a strength, with 80.18% proficiency in ELA and 79.28% in math, while third-grade ELA and math and fifth-grade math are notably weaker. Clark’s overall results are also below several nearby schools, including Endeavour Elementary School, Grand Ridge Elementary, Sunny Hills Elementary, and Discovery Elementary. However, Clark remains a strong school by statewide standards.

Clark serves a more economically diverse student population than most nearby schools, which is useful context when comparing results. Its performance is stronger than Issaquah Valley Elementary in all three tested subjects, despite similar reported economic-need levels. Subgroup effectiveness is another important strength: recent results show especially strong performance for Hispanic students and English learners, along with major gains for students receiving special education services and students from low-income backgrounds. Parents may view Clark as a steadily improving school with favorable staffing levels, strong science results, and a clear opportunity to strengthen math consistency—particularly in third and fifth grades.

My daughter had wonderful 3 years in this school and she will always miss the teachers and all the student oriented activities that this school had all the year around. We recently moved out to another state but find ourselves always talking about the friendly, open and encouraging atmosphere this school provides to all. Close Quote

Small school and smaller class size compared with other schools in the area. Wonderful staff and active PTA. We have been in the school for a year now and our happy with our child's progress. Close Quote
