Summary

John J. Audubon Elementary is a K–5 school serving 431 students in Redmond, Washington, within the highly regarded Lake Washington School District. The school ranks 46th among 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 96th percentile and earning a five-star rating. Its surrounding area includes several strong schools, and Audubon has remained in the state’s top tier for several years. In 2025–26, 81.69% of students were proficient in English language arts, 78.87% in math, and 83.56% in science—well above statewide results and slightly above district averages in every subject.

Audubon’s results are especially strong when compared with nearby schools in the same district. It had the highest ELA proficiency among the listed Lake Washington comparisons, while its math result was just behind Benjamin Rush Elementary and its science result was second to Elizabeth Blackwell Elementary. Audubon also outperformed Redmond Elementary by about 13 to 15 percentage points across the three subjects. Compared with nearby schools in the Bellevue School District, including Bennett Elementary and Ardmore Elementary School, Audubon’s academic results are also substantially higher. These comparisons reflect different school and community contexts, so they are best used as descriptive benchmarks rather than proof that one school causes better outcomes.

The strongest grade-level signals are third-grade math, at 90.77%, and fifth-grade ELA, at 91.78%. Fourth grade is the clearest area to monitor, with 72% proficiency in ELA and 73.68% in math, both below district results for that grade. Overall performance has softened slightly recently—particularly math—but remains excellent. Science is a consistent strength, and subgroup effectiveness indicators are strong for female and male students, English learners, and students receiving special education services. With a 7.89% free- or reduced-price lunch rate, spending of $17,932 per student, and a 15.8 student–teacher ratio, Audubon combines high achievement with resources broadly similar to other strong Lake Washington schools.
