Summary

Olympic Hills Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school in the Seattle School District No. 1, serving 486 students with a favorable student-teacher ratio of about 13 to 1.

The school shows notable strengths, particularly in mathematics where student proficiency exceeds the state average and outperforms several nearby schools like John Rogers Elementary School and Broadview-Thomson K-8 School, despite serving a similar population of students from lower-income families. Olympic Hills also benefits from higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes than many area schools. However, its overall academic results are in the middle tier compared to neighbors, with schools like Cedar Park Elementary School and Hazel Wolf K-8 achieving higher rankings, and nearby schools in the Shoreline School District often performing better with lower spending.

Performance has been volatile from year to year, and while the school is recovering from a pandemic-era low, it has not yet returned to its highest past rankings. The school's effectiveness varies significantly for different groups of students, with recent notable declines in performance for students in special education and from low-income families, indicating areas where support may need strengthening to ensure all students thrive.
