Summary

Hallett Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 496 students in the Medical Lake School District, a highly-rated district that provides a strong foundation for its schools.

Hallett is a solid, above-average school that excels in supporting its students, with half qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. It consistently outperforms the state average in math and science, and it is particularly effective in helping students from lower-income families achieve academic success. This strength sets it apart from many nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Betz Elementary or Holmes Elementary. While it doesn't reach the exceptional level of top performers like Wilson Elementary, it achieves these strong outcomes with more modest per-student spending than several neighboring schools.

Compared to its in-district peer, Michael Anderson Elementary, Hallett achieves a similar overall ranking while serving a student population with greater economic need. Parents should note that while Hallett's current performance is good, its statewide ranking has gradually declined from higher levels seen nearly a decade ago. The school represents a stable, mid-performing choice in a region with an extreme range of school performance, from the very top to the very bottom like Sunset Elementary.
