Summary

Wing Luke Elementary School is a public PK–5 school in Seattle serving 334 students in the Seattle School District No. 1. Located in the South Seattle area, it serves a relatively high-need student population, with 71.56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The student-teacher ratio is 13.5:1, and per-student spending was $31,771 in 2023–24. While the district ranks at the 81st percentile statewide, Wing Luke itself ranked at the 22nd percentile in 2025–26 and received one star. Its ranking has fallen from the 58th percentile in 2021–22 and the 52nd percentile in 2022–23.

Current academic results are below both district and state averages, especially in math and science. Proficiency rates were 41.13% in English language arts, 24.60% in math, and 27.91% in science. Fifth-grade math is the clearest concern, with only 13.95% of students proficient; fifth-grade science was 27.91%. The closest and most useful comparison is Rising Star Elementary School, just 0.21 miles away. The schools have similar enrollment and nearly identical lunch-program rates, but Rising Star posted higher results in ELA, math, and science—53.55%, 46.75%, and 48.08%, respectively. Dearborn Park International School and Orca K-8 School also outperformed Wing Luke, while Wing Luke did better than Emerson Elementary School and Concord International School.

One notable strength is support for English Language Learners: that subgroup ranked at the 75th percentile statewide, far above the school’s overall ranking. In contrast, the low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranked at the 18th percentile, suggesting a need to examine academic interventions and support systems for economically disadvantaged students. ELA and science improved slightly from 2024–25, but math declined, and all three subjects remain well below the school’s stronger 2022–23 results. Families considering Wing Luke may want to ask about fifth-grade math and science, intervention programs, attendance and engagement supports, and how the school is applying practices that appear effective for multilingual learners.
