Summary

Norman Rockwell Elementary is a K–5 school serving 423 students in Redmond, Washington, within the highly rated Lake Washington School District. Located less than a mile from Horace Mann Elementary and near several other district schools, it offers families access to a strong local school network. Norman Rockwell ranks 41st out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools for 2025–26, placing it in the 96th percentile statewide, and has maintained a five-star rating.

Academic results are well above Washington averages in all three reported subjects. In 2025–26, proficiency was 80.10% in English language arts, 78.97% in math, and 83.61% in science. Math and science are particular strengths: the school exceeded district averages by 3.94 and 3.36 percentage points, respectively. Results have improved since the school ranked 103rd statewide in 2023–24, especially in math, which rose 5.47 points from the prior year. Third-grade math was especially strong at 88.52%. Fifth-grade math is the main area to watch, at 70.49%—still far above the state result but below the district average and below results at several nearby schools. Fourth-grade ELA is another comparatively weaker area.

Norman Rockwell compares favorably with most nearby schools, although it is not the local leader in every subject. Horace Mann Elementary ranked 22nd statewide and posted higher ELA and math results, while Rose Hill Elementary ranked 40th and was stronger in math and science. Norman Rockwell outperformed Benjamin Rush Elementary in ELA and science and was well ahead of Redmond Elementary, Albert Einstein Elementary, John Muir Elementary, and Alexander Graham Bell Elementary in all three subjects. Its strong English-learner and male-student subgroup rankings further support its reputation as an effective school, while fifth-grade math remains the clearest opportunity for continued improvement.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, February 21, 2009

We moved from Canada last summer. Before the move, we've done extensive research on schools in both Kirkland and Redmond, and have decided that Rockwell was the best school for our 6 year old son. The decision was based on the fact that the school's test scores are satisfactory, least amount of students with assisted lunches etc.

The progress our son has shown in both reading and writing is just fantastic, especially because it had been a struggle up until now (his ability was well below average, even considering his age). He seems to have 'clicked' and started spelling difficult words with least difficulty. Thanks to his teacher (mostly for her patience!)

Rockwell also provides bus services, which provides tremendous help in the parents' every day schedule.

Needless to say, we LOVE this school. We are looking to buy a home right now, and have decided not to buy any home that is outside the school's boundary. Close Quote
