Summary
Sage Crest Elementary is a K–5 school serving 509 students in Kennewick, Washington, and is a relatively large school in the area. It ranks 339th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 70th percentile and earning four stars. This is considerably stronger than the overall standing of the Kennewick School District, which ranks in the 48th percentile. Sage Crest’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 59.04% in English language arts, 54.24% in math, and 56.44% in science—above both district and state averages in every subject.
Among nearby schools, Sage Crest occupies a solid upper-middle position. It trails Amon Creek Elementary, Cottonwood Elementary, and Ridge View Elementary School, which have higher results in all three tested subjects, but it generally outperforms Lincoln Elementary School, Hawthorne Elementary School, Southgate Elementary School, and the other comparison schools. Sage Crest’s largest district-level advantage is in math: its 54.24% proficiency rate is 17.41 percentage points above the district average. Science is another strength, at 5.49 points above the state rate.
Parents should note that results declined from the unusually strong 2024–2025 year, when proficiency reached 68.70% in ELA, 62.36% in math, and 63.74% in science. Fifth-grade math is the clearest area for attention: proficiency was 45.54%, compared with 62.96% in fourth grade, although it remained slightly above state and district fifth-grade rates. The school’s longer-term record is generally steady, with four stars in every reported year except 2020–2021 and results at or above the 70th percentile in five of the last six reported years. Its student-teacher ratio improved to 15.9 to 1, and its low socioeconomic status subgroup ranked in the 78th percentile statewide, suggesting broadly strong school effectiveness. Overall, Sage Crest appears to be a dependable, above-average local option, while still having room to close the gap with the area’s highest-performing schools.
