Summary

Cedar Trails Elementary is a K–5 school in Sammamish serving 374 students in the highly regarded Issaquah School District, located on Issaquah-Pine Lake Road SE within a few miles of several nearby elementary schools. The school ranks 109th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 90th percentile and earning five stars. The district ranks 3rd of 238 statewide, or in the 99th percentile.

Cedar Trails performs well above Washington averages: in 2025–2026, 72.22% of students met standards in English language arts, 75.50% in math, and 76.67% in science. Math is especially competitive with the district average, while ELA is the clearest area for improvement. Results are below the district’s top local performers, including Discovery Elementary, Grand Ridge Elementary, Endeavour Elementary School, and Sunny Hills Elementary. However, Cedar Trails outperforms nearby Clark Elementary, Challenger Elementary, and Issaquah Valley Elementary in several current measures.

Parents should note that performance has softened recently: ELA, math, and science all declined from 2024–2025, and the statewide ranking has fallen from 73rd in 2022–2023. The strongest current grade-level results are third-grade ELA and fifth-grade math; fourth-grade math and fourth- and fifth-grade ELA deserve the closest attention. The low-SES subgroup ranking also dropped from the 88th percentile to the 35th percentile, although one year of data does not establish a long-term trend. On the resource side, Cedar Trails reports a favorable 14.4 student-teacher ratio and $22,236 in per-student spending, among the highest figures in the comparison group.
