Summary

Elizabeth Blackwell Elementary is a K–5 school in Sammamish serving 478 students in the highly regarded Lake Washington School District, an area with several exceptionally strong neighboring elementary schools and a generally high-performing suburban school system.

Blackwell ranks 30th among 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 97th percentile with a five-star rating. In 2025–2026, 81.4% of students were proficient in English language arts, 79.42% in math, and 86.81% in science—above district averages in every subject and far above state results. Science is the school’s clearest strength. Blackwell ranks below nearby Louisa May Alcott Elementary and Samantha Smith Elementary, but its results are close to John J. Audubon Elementary and Margaret Mead Elementary, and substantially higher than Emily Dickinson Elementary. Some figures for Christa McAuliffe Elementary and Explorer Community School were suppressed or incomplete, so direct comparisons with those schools are limited.

Performance is generally consistent across grades, especially in ELA, where results range from 80.49% to 82.61%. Math is strong overall, but fourth grade stands out as an area to watch at 75.31%, compared with 84.51% in third grade and 79.12% in fifth grade. ELA has gradually softened over several years, while science remains very strong and math is higher than in 2022–2023. Blackwell’s ranking has nevertheless improved from 46th to 30th over the past two reported years. Its 16.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $17,518 per-student spending provide useful context, though these figures do not by themselves explain achievement. Comparisons with Bennett Elementary School, Sherwood Forest Elementary, and Ardmore Elementary School should be made cautiously because their district and student-service contexts differ.

Quest program at Blackwell is the best. Mr. Egawa and Ms. Chen are excellent teachers. First grade teachers team is second to none and very well attentive to each and individual student needs. The music program at Blackwell is very well organized. Parent volunteer and participation of PSTA is excellent. Close Quote

I went to Elizabeth Blackwell from 4th through 6th. It was a great school and it may have been to the best school I went to. The only problem was the food was expensive and it was never very good so I just brought lunch to school. It feeds into Inglewood Junior High that will be Inglewood Middle School as the school district is moving 6th grade up to middle school and 9th grade up to high school. After Inglewood students go to Eastlake whigh is becoming a 4 year high school because 9th grade is going to Eastlake High School. Close Quote
