Summary

Benjamin Rush Elementary is a public K–5 school in Redmond, Washington, serving 631 students in the highly rated Lake Washington School District, an academically strong area in the Seattle region. The school ranks 47th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 96th percentile, and has maintained a five-star rating throughout the reported ranking history. Its 15.7 student-teacher ratio and 9.67% free/reduced-price lunch rate provide additional context for understanding the school’s learning environment.

Rush’s academic results are excellent statewide. In 2025–2026, 79.04% of students were proficient in English language arts, 80.15% in math, and 79.35% in science. Math is the clearest strength: Rush exceeded the district average by 5.12 percentage points and the state rate by 37.04 points. Results were particularly strong in third- and fourth-grade math, while fifth-grade math was somewhat lower but still above the district rate. ELA performance was fairly even across grades and far above the state average, although fifth-grade ELA trailed the district. Science also remains strong statewide, but its decline from the 84% range in 2022–2024 is worth monitoring.

Rush is part of an unusually strong local group. Benjamin Franklin Elementary and Horace Mann Elementary currently rank higher statewide, while Cherry Crest Elementary School is a nearby standout ranked second statewide. Even so, Rush’s top-5%-level ranking is notable for a relatively large school. Subgroup results are strong for many groups, including English Language Learners, but special education outcomes are a significant concern: that subgroup ranked in the 22nd percentile statewide in 2025–2026, down from the 67th percentile two years earlier. Families may therefore view Rush as a strong, stable school with particular opportunities to examine special education support, science, and fifth-grade consistency.
