Summary
Greenwood Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Seattle serving 339 students at 144 NW 80th Street, in a relatively low-poverty neighborhood, and is part of Seattle School District No. 1. Greenwood has a 5-star rating and ranks 24th of 1,138 Washington schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the state’s 98th percentile. Its results are strong across all three reported subjects: 85.89% of students are proficient in English language arts, 81.48% in math, and 84.62% in science. These figures exceed district averages by 17.76, 21.24, and 19.61 percentage points, respectively.
Greenwood is one of the strongest schools in this local comparison, generally ranking second only to West Woodland Elementary School, which ranks 8th statewide. West Woodland leads Greenwood in ELA, math, and science, but the gap is relatively modest. Greenwood ranks ahead of Adams Elementary School, Whittier Elementary School, North Beach Elementary School, Loyal Heights Elementary School, Salmon Bay K-8 School, Daniel Bagley Elementary School, Green Lake Elementary School, and Viewlands Elementary School on the current statewide ranking. Cascadia Elementary has suppressed 2025–2026 results, so a current comparison is not available.
The school’s statewide rank has improved substantially, from 105th in 2021–2022 to 24th in 2025–2026, following several years in the top 5-star category. Math is a particular strength: third-grade math proficiency is 87.50%, although results decline to 79.63% in fourth grade and 76.92% in fifth grade. This remains strong but may be an area to watch. Greenwood’s 16.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $21,524 per-student spending are fairly typical or toward the lower end among nearby schools, rather than the highest. Its 10.32% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is lower than that of several neighboring schools, including Green Lake, Daniel Bagley, and Viewlands, so comparisons should be interpreted in light of differing student needs. Suppressed results indicate unavailable data, not low performance.
