Summary

Kennydale Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 511 students in the Renton School District, currently ranking in the middle tier of Washington elementary schools with a 3-star rating.

Within its own district, Kennydale is a relatively strong performer, notably outperforming nearby schools like Sierra Heights Elementary School, Highlands Elementary School, and Bryn Mawr Elementary School in math and science proficiency. However, it is dramatically outperformed by high-achieving schools in neighboring districts, such as Newcastle Elementary School (Issaquah) and Lakeridge Elementary School (Mercer Island).

While Kennydale achieves its results with lower per-student spending than some lower-performing district peers, there are significant and widening performance gaps among different student groups. The school's effectiveness with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds has declined sharply in recent years, which is a key challenge as it works to support all students equitably.
