Summary

Cedar Trails Elementary is a highly-rated public school serving about 374 students in grades K-5 within the acclaimed Issaquah School District in Sammamish, WA, consistently ranking in the top 7% of all Washington elementary schools.

While its overall academic performance is excellent, the school shows some unique patterns when compared to its neighbors. It is particularly effective in supporting students from lower-income families, outperforming nearby schools like Clark Elementary and Issaquah Valley Elementary in this area. However, there is a noticeable performance gap between female and male students, and test scores show unusual inconsistency between grade levels, with a significant dip in 4th-grade English scores that is not seen at schools such as Creekside Elementary.

Context is important, as Cedar Trails is located in an exceptionally high-performing zone; several schools within two miles, including Cascade Ridge Elementary and Discovery Elementary, rank even higher. Interestingly, Cedar Trails spends more per student than most of these peers, yet its outcomes do not correlate directly with that higher spending, suggesting other factors are at play in driving academic success in this district.
