of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Alki Elementary School is a small K–5 public school in Seattle’s West Seattle area, serving 269 students in Seattle School District No. 1. The school ranks among Washington’s strongest elementary schools, placing 60th out of 1,138 schools in 2025–2026, in the 95th percentile, with a current five-star rating. Its student-teacher ratio is 17.8:1, and 14.13% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

Alki’s academic results are especially strong in English language arts and math. In 2025–2026, 79.51% of students were proficient in ELA and 74.59% in math—11.38 and 14.35 percentage points above district results, respectively. ELA performance was remarkably consistent across grades, ranging from 78.95% in third grade to 80% in fourth grade. Math improved substantially from 68.84% in 2024–2025, although fifth-grade math at 68.18% was lower than fourth-grade math at 75%, making math consistency worth monitoring. Science results for 2025–2026 were suppressed by the state, so the latest science performance is unavailable rather than a zero or an indication of weak results.

Alki leads the nearby comparison group in overall statewide ranking, ahead of Fairmount Park Elementary School, Lafayette Elementary School, Genesee Hill Elementary, and Gatewood Elementary School, all of which also rank highly. Alki’s achievement is notable because its student-teacher ratio is higher than most of these nearby schools and its per-student spending is below most of them. As a smaller school, it may see more year-to-year variation when class sizes or student cohorts change. Overall, the school combines high achievement, especially in ELA, with a strong recent math rebound and a leading position among local peers.
