Summary

Wedgwood Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 333 students in Seattle’s Wedgwood neighborhood, within the Seattle School District No. 1. It is located near a range of schools, from exceptionally high-performing campuses to schools with more moderate recent results. Wedgwood ranks 87th out of 1,138 Washington schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 92nd percentile statewide and earning a five-star rating. The district ranks in the 81st percentile statewide.

Wedgwood’s current academic results are substantially above both district and state averages: 83.87% of students met standards in English language arts, 74.52% in math, and 77.19% in science. Its strongest area is literacy, particularly fifth-grade ELA, where 87.27% of students met standards. Compared with nearby schools, Wedgwood trails Bryant Elementary School and View Ridge Elementary School overall, especially in science, but it generally outperforms Thornton Creek Elementary School, Hazel Wolf K-8, Sacajawea Elementary School, Olympic View Elementary School, Green Lake Elementary School, and John Rogers Elementary School in current overall achievement.

The latest results represent a decline from Wedgwood’s unusually strong recent peak. ELA dipped only slightly, but math fell to its lowest level in the four-year period shown, and science declined from 89.09% to 77.19%. These subjects—particularly science and upper-grade math—are the clearest areas to monitor. Wedgwood’s 17.5:1 student-teacher ratio is moderate locally, while its reported per-student spending of $18,546 is lower than the available figures for nearby schools such as Cascadia Elementary and Stephen Decatur Elementary School. Overall, it remains a high-performing school with especially strong ELA outcomes, despite ranking below its own recent record.

Open Quote Great School, strong parent participation. Close Quote

Open Quote Couldn't be happier with the school. Our child has been attending Wedgwood for three years now. Wide variety of teachers whose goal is for children to learn as much as possible. Expectations are high which is nice because the more you teach children the more they learn. Set the bar high and children will rise to it. Music, art, and P.E. rotate one week each which is a nice change from semester based. PTA is actively involved in the school and the ladies in the front office are always willing to help with any issues. Close Quote
