of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 93% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Moorlands Elementary is a PK–5 school in Kenmore, Washington, serving 579 students in the highly ranked Northshore School District. The school ranks 83rd out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 93rd percentile statewide, and has maintained a top-tier ranking for several years.

Moorlands’ latest achievement results are well above state averages in every tested subject: 79.4% of students are proficient in English language arts, 68.77% in math, and 86.79% in science. Science is the school’s standout strength, exceeding the state rate by 35.84 percentage points and the Northshore average by 14.87 points. Among nearby full-grade schools with reported results, Moorlands leads in all three subjects. It outperforms Arrowhead Elementary and Westhill Elementary across the tested areas, and compares favorably with Carl Sandburg Elementary and Henry David Thoreau Elementary.

Results have been consistently strong, especially in ELA and science, although math deserves monitoring. Overall math proficiency fell from 75.35% in 2024–25 to 68.77% in 2025–26, with the clearest concern in third grade, where the result was 65.85% compared with 74.61% districtwide. Fourth- and fifth-grade math were closer to district performance. Moorlands reports a 19.1 student-teacher ratio and $17,352 in per-student spending—higher staffing ratios and lower spending than most nearby comparison schools—while its free/reduced-price lunch rate was 10.71%. These figures provide useful context, but they do not by themselves determine school quality. Overall, Moorlands stands out for sustained statewide performance, exceptional science results, and strong outcomes across student groups.
