Summary

Roxhill Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 289 students in West Seattle, part of the highly-rated Seattle School District No. 1.

Academically, Roxhill faces significant challenges, with test scores in English, math, and science consistently below district and state averages, placing it in the 20th percentile statewide. This performance is notably lower than many nearby schools in the same district, such as Gatewood Elementary School and Fairmount Park Elementary School, which achieve much higher rankings. However, Roxhill's performance is similar to other schools serving high-need populations, like West Seattle Elementary School and Sanislo Elementary School, and it actually performs slightly better than comparable high-poverty schools in the neighboring Highline School District.

To support its students, Roxhill receives more funding per student than many higher-performing schools in the area and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 14-to-1. Recent years have shown volatile test scores, but the latest data indicates improvement across all subjects. The school shows relative strength in science and has historically been effective with certain student groups, though it currently shows a significant performance gap between male and female students.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Thursday, September 1, 2011

I believe that the principal is one of the finest in the entire district, let alone the state. She is intensely driven and provides a model of professionalism that is rarely seen. Her commitment and sense of compassion for the entire community of students, family and staff is truly admireable and inspirational. Close Quote
