Summary

Ella Baker Elementary School is a highly-rated K-5 public school with about 400 students in Redmond, Washington, part of the top-performing Lake Washington School District.

The school consistently ranks in the top 6% of elementary schools in the state, with students scoring well above state averages in English, math, and especially science. What makes Ella Baker particularly noteworthy is its strong academic achievement while serving a more economically diverse student population than many of its elite neighbors; for instance, it serves significantly more students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch than nearby top-ranked schools like Christa Mcauliffe Elementary or Samantha Smith Elementary, yet maintains very competitive test scores.

The school shows specific strengths in supporting English Language Learners and special education students, and its fifth graders show a notable jump in math proficiency. While its state ranking has dipped slightly in recent years alongside a small decline in test scores—a trend not seen in all comparable schools—Ella Baker remains a model of high performance within a district known for excellence, demonstrating effective education for a wide range of learners.
