Summary

North Beach Elementary School is a 344-student public school serving preschool through fifth grade in northwest Seattle as part of Seattle School District No. 1. It is a consistently high-performing school, ranking 70th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools for 2025–2026, in the 94th percentile, and receiving a five-star rating.

North Beach performed above both district and state averages in every reported subject. Proficiency was 75.52% in English language arts, 72.73% in math, and 81.25% in science. Science is the clearest strength, while math is especially strong in fourth and fifth grades. Third-grade ELA, at 60.98%, was slightly below the district average and is the most visible area to monitor. The school’s ranking improved substantially from 119th the previous year, although math dipped modestly while science reached its highest result in the four-year comparison. North Beach’s fifth-grade ELA result is suppressed, meaning it is unknown rather than zero or evidence of weak performance.

Among nearby schools, West Woodland Elementary School and Greenwood Elementary School posted stronger latest results, while Salmon Bay K-8 School ranked slightly higher statewide. North Beach was broadly competitive with Loyal Heights Elementary School, Whittier Elementary School, and Adams Elementary School, and outperformed Daniel Bagley Elementary School, Viewlands Elementary School, and Licton Springs K-8 in the latest subject results. Its 14.4 student-teacher ratio and $23,056 per-student spending are favorable among local traditional elementary schools. Cascadia Elementary has suppressed current results, so a complete comparison is not possible.
