Summary

Kennydale Elementary School is a public K–5 school in Renton, Washington, serving 511 students in a residential area near several Renton, Issaquah, and Mercer Island schools. It has a 16.5:1 student–teacher ratio and ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide, making it one of the stronger schools in the Renton School District.

Kennydale’s academic results are above both district and state averages in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, 57.14% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 57.54% in math, and 65.12% in science. Math and science are particular strengths: Kennydale exceeded the district by 14.64 points in math and 19.41 points in science. Its statewide ranking also rose from the 61st percentile to the 72nd percentile in one year. Among nearby Renton schools, Kennydale ranks behind Hazelwood Elementary School and Sartori Elementary School, but ahead of Sierra Heights Elementary School, Bryn Mawr Elementary School, Honey Dew Elementary, and Highlands Elementary School.

Families should note that fourth grade is Kennydale’s clearest academic opportunity: fourth-grade proficiency was lower than third- and fifth-grade performance in both ELA and math. Results also vary among student groups, with lower recent effectiveness rankings for English Language Learners, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Kennydale serves a more economically mixed enrollment than top nearby schools such as Newcastle Elementary School in the Issaquah School District and Lakeridge Elementary School in the Mercer Island School District. Overall, it is a high-performing local option with especially strong math and science results, recent momentum, and specific areas for continued improvement.
