Summary

Scenic Hill Elementary School is a public school in Kent, Washington, serving 481 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade within the Kent School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 73.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Its current academic results are a significant concern: it ranked in the 7th statewide percentile for 2025–2026 and received a SchoolDigger rating of 0 stars.

The most urgent challenge is math. In 2025–2026, 15.38% of students were proficient in math, compared with 34.16% across the district and 43.11% statewide. Fifth-grade math was particularly low at 9.09%, while third and fourth grades reached 16.85% and 19.70%. English Language Arts proficiency was 26.01%, and science was 32.84%. Although science is the school’s relative strength, it still trails district and state results. Performance has also weakened recently: the school’s statewide percentile fell from 18th in 2023–2024 to 7th in 2025–2026, while ELA dropped from 38.81% to 26.01% in the most recent year.

Compared with nearby schools, Scenic Hill Elementary School is among the weaker performers, especially in math, where only Meadow Ridge Elementary School had a lower result. Stronger nearby schools include Meridian Elementary School, Martin Sortun Elementary School, and Neely O Brien Elementary School. Scenic Hill’s 14.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $21,186 per-student spending are not unusually unfavorable locally, suggesting that instructional consistency, intervention systems, attendance, staffing stability, or other schoolwide factors may deserve attention. Recent subgroup rankings are also weak across several student groups, pointing to a broad improvement need rather than a challenge limited to one population.
