Summary

Stevens Elementary School is a small K–5 school serving 150 students in Seattle’s Seattle School District No. 1, with several nearby elementary options, including John Stanford International School, Queen Anne Elementary, and Montlake Elementary School. The district ranks in the 81st percentile statewide, while Stevens currently ranks in the 55th percentile among Washington elementary schools. This is a respectable middle-to-upper position locally, but it is well below Stevens’ 93rd-percentile ranking in 2023–2024.

Science is Stevens’ clearest strength: 73.68% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 65.01% districtwide and 50.95% statewide. The school also remains above the state average in English language arts, at 64.79%, and math, at 51.43%. However, both subjects have declined from recent highs, especially math, which fell from 75.34% in 2023–2024. Fourth-grade math is a particular concern, with 36.36% proficiency compared with 64.19% across the district. Fifth-grade ELA is more encouraging at 71.43%, above the district result. Families should also know that some third-grade results were suppressed by the state and are therefore unknown, not zero.

Compared with nearby schools, Stevens generally outperforms Madrona K-5 School, John Hay Elementary School, Bailey Gatzert Elementary School, Leschi Elementary School, and Lowell Elementary School in most recent measures, but trails John Stanford International School, Queen Anne Elementary, Montlake Elementary School, and McGilvra Elementary School. Its economically mixed enrollment and small size may make year-to-year results more variable. The main questions for families are whether the math decline is temporary or ongoing and how the school plans to preserve its strong science performance.
