Summary

Sand Point Elementary is a small Seattle public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, with 173 students in a neighborhood near several other elementary schools, including View Ridge Elementary School. It is part of Seattle School District No. 1, which ranks in the 81st percentile statewide. However, the school’s latest ranking is considerably lower: 771st of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, in the 32nd percentile and rated two stars. That ranking has declined from the 54th percentile in 2023–2024 and the 40th percentile in 2024–2025.

Academic results are the school’s main concern. In 2025–2026, 40.85% of students were proficient in English language arts, 33.33% in math, and 52.00% in science. Math is especially weak, with fourth grade at 29.17%; ELA and math results are low across all tested grades rather than being limited to one class. Compared with nearby John Rogers Elementary School, a more similar comparison based on economic-need levels, Sand Point Elementary trails in every subject. The gap is much larger with higher-performing schools: View Ridge Elementary School reported 81.08% ELA and 77.70% math proficiency, while Bryant Elementary School reported 85.85% and 80.66%, respectively.

There are some positive features. Science proficiency is slightly above Washington’s 50.95% rate, and the reported 9.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio is the lowest among the comparison schools. Per-student spending was also comparatively high. At the same time, the school serves a higher-need student population than most nearby schools, with a 56.07% free- or reduced-price-lunch rate, and its low-socioeconomic-status subgroup has a 23rd-percentile effectiveness ranking. Its small enrollment may make results more volatile, but the multi-year decline in ELA and math suggests a broader instructional challenge. Parents may want to ask about math support, intervention programs, staffing stability, and how the school is using its relatively strong staffing resources.
