Summary

Louisa May Alcott Elementary is a K–5 school in Redmond, Washington, serving 615 students in the high-performing Lake Washington School District, which ranks 4th among 238 Washington districts. Alcott ranks 6th out of 1,138 elementary schools statewide for 2025–2026, placing it in the 99th percentile and earning a five-star rating. Its performance has been consistently excellent: the school ranked 20th in 2023–2024 and 13th in 2024–2025, and it has remained among Washington’s top 20 schools in every reported year since 2015–2016.

Academically, Alcott is substantially ahead of both district and state averages. In 2025–2026, 86.80% of students were proficient in English language arts and 87.68% in math, compared with 80.33% and 75.03% districtwide. Fifth grade was especially strong, with 94.34% proficiency in ELA and 92.45% in math. Math is a particular strength across grades, while fourth-grade math and third-grade ELA were comparatively less strong, though still above district results. Alcott’s long-term math results have stayed between 86.61% and 88.06%. Its latest science result is suppressed by the state, so it should be treated as unknown rather than interpreted as low or declining. Subgroup effectiveness is also impressive, including top statewide rankings for female, male, Asian, and English Language Learner groups.

Among nearby schools with current rankings, Alcott is ahead of Samantha Smith Elementary, which ranks 10th statewide and has slightly higher current ELA and math proficiency. However, Alcott’s larger enrollment makes its sustained results notable. It also outperforms schools such as Rosa Parks Elementary, John J. Audubon Elementary, and Rachel Carson Elementary in current math proficiency. Its 17.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio and midrange per-student spending show that its results are achieved without the area’s smallest classes or highest spending.
