Summary

Redmond Elementary is a K–5 school serving 543 students in Redmond, Washington, as part of the highly rated Lake Washington School District. The school is in a strong educational area, with the district ranked 4th out of 238 Washington districts. Redmond is also a strong school statewide, ranking 181st out of 1,138 elementary schools and in the 84th percentile. However, it currently ranks below most nearby schools in the same district, making it a solid statewide option but a comparatively less competitive school within its immediate neighborhood.

Recent test results show performance well above Washington averages: 68.85% of students were proficient in English language arts, 63.82% in math, and 70.73% in science. Math is the clearest area for improvement, especially in 5th grade, where proficiency was 58.54%. Redmond’s results trail the district averages and the nearby-school group, particularly in math. For comparison, Horace Mann Elementary, only about 1.1 miles away, reported 92.45% ELA and 88.89% math proficiency. Other nearby schools, including Rose Hill Elementary, Benjamin Rush Elementary, and Mark Twain Elementary, also currently rank substantially higher statewide.

The school’s ranking and test scores have declined from earlier highs, although science and some subgroup measures have recently improved. Redmond’s 13.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio is among the most favorable in the comparison group, and its 98th-percentile effectiveness ranking for English Language Learners is a notable strength. The school also serves a more economically diverse population than most nearby comparison schools, so raw school-to-school comparisons require some context. Overall, the data suggest a well-resourced school with strong statewide results, but one that would benefit from targeted attention to upper-grade math and equitable outcomes for students from lower-income households.

This school is not supportive for kids with special needs. My daughter has anxiety issues and the teachers that we have experienced framed her as someone with behavioral problems and keep punishing her by withholding her recess unless the parents acknowledge them. We were hoping to communicate with the teachers to work out a solution but the principal stepped in and is downhill from there. There is a strong correlation to when my daughter has her recess withheld to when we wanted to talk to the teachers to find a positive solution. Good luck communicating with the school to address just a simple emotional need of anxiety. Run from this school, it's hopeless and rotten from the top. Close Quote
