Summary

Albert Einstein Elementary is a K–5 school in Redmond, WA, serving 448 students in the highly rated Lake Washington School District, near several strong schools in both the Lake Washington and Northshore districts. The district ranks 4th out of 238 Washington districts, while Albert Einstein ranks 165th out of 1,138 state elementary schools, placing it in the 86th percentile with a four-star rating. Its 15.1:1 student-teacher ratio is favorable and has improved from 18.3:1 in 2022–23.

Academically, the school is well above Washington averages, with 2025–26 proficiency rates of 71.96% in ELA, 65.74% in math, and 72.31% in science. However, it trails the district averages of 80.33%, 75.03%, and 80.25%, respectively. It also sits near the lower end of its local comparison group. For example, nearby Horace Mann Elementary posted 92.45% ELA and 88.89% math proficiency, while Sunrise Elementary in Northshore reached 88.17% in ELA and 91.72% in math. Redmond Elementary had similar results, with 68.85% in ELA and 63.82% in math.

The clearest academic concern is upper-elementary math: proficiency falls from 80.25% in third grade to 56.52% in fourth grade and 57.58% in fifth grade. Fourth-grade ELA is also relatively weak at 64.71%, while fifth-grade ELA is stronger at 80%. Results have declined from an especially strong period in 2020–21 through 2023–24, when the school ranked as high as the 99th percentile. Albert Einstein also serves a more economically diverse population than most nearby high-performing schools, with a 20.76% free/reduced-price lunch rate, and its low-income subgroup effectiveness ranking is 56th percentile. Overall, it remains a strong Washington school, but families may want to ask about the recent decline and plans for grades four and five.

School teachers are very supportive. They consistently monitor students progress and forward it to parents and also help students to excel in their academics. Teachers not only teach academics but also teach students how to become a good human being and moral values. My two kids studied in this school and learned a lot from teachers. Teachers and all non-teaching staff are very supportive.Thanks to Albert Einstein school staff. Close Quote

Great school, great teachers!Despite bad ranking of Einstein school we decided not to transfer our child in other "higher" ranking schools.Einstein teacher's are doing excellent job! Close Quote

Einstein is a warm and nurturing school and encourages each student to do his or her best. It has some of the most dedicated teachers and staff that I have ever met. We had the opportunity to transfer to some other "better-ranked" schools in the neighborhood, but we chose to continue at Einstein. While most other schools have one academic level for all kids, Einstein breaks kids into separate groups and provides accelerated enrichment for the advanced kids while still catering to meet the needs of those lagging behind.

Regret the fact that I didn't listen to my other 4 friends in the neighborhood who got their kids out of there! Close Quote
