Summary

John Rogers Elementary School is a small PK–5 school in northeast Seattle, serving 248 students as part of the Seattle School District No. 1. For 2025–2026, it ranked in the 40th percentile statewide, compared with the district’s 81st-percentile ranking. Its nearby area includes schools with widely varying results, including View Ridge Elementary School, Wedgwood Elementary School, and Thornton Creek Elementary School, which ranked in the 96th, 92nd, and 90th percentiles, respectively.

Recent academic results are the school’s main concern. John Rogers reported proficiency rates of 43.20% in English language arts, 40.00% in math, and 54.84% in science. Its ELA and math results were lower than those of every nearby school with reported results. For example, View Ridge exceeded John Rogers by 37.88 points in ELA and 37.70 points in math, while Thornton Creek was ahead by 28.23 and 30.59 points. Science is a relative strength: John Rogers was above the statewide rate, although below the district average and several nearby schools. Results have also declined steadily, with ELA falling from 59.35% in 2022–2023 to 43.20% in 2025–2026 and math dropping from 54.03% to 40.00%. Fifth-grade math is especially weak, at 25.00% proficiency.

Student needs provide important context. In 2024–2025, 55.24% of John Rogers students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest reported share among nearby schools. However, Olympic Hills Elementary School and James Baldwin Elementary School served similarly large shares of economically disadvantaged students while posting stronger ELA and math results. Subgroup effectiveness was weakest for special education students, at the 30th percentile, and low-income students, at the 35th percentile. Parents may want to ask about plans for improving ELA, fifth-grade math, support for students receiving special education services, and the student-teacher ratio, which rose from 10.7 to 17.4.
