Summary

Sand Point Elementary is a small public elementary school (PK-5) serving 173 students in Seattle's northeast neighborhood, operating within the high-performing Seattle School District No. 1.

Academically, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated and currently places in the 40th percentile, with proficiency rates in English and math below the district average. A key finding is the significant contrast with several nearby schools; for instance, while over half of Sand Point's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, schools like Wedgwood Elementary School, View Ridge Elementary School, and Bryant Elementary School have rates below 13% and achieve proficiency rates above 80%. John Rogers Elementary School is a closer peer in terms of student economic need.

Despite these academic challenges, Sand Point is notable for its high level of resources, with the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.8:1) and the highest per-student spending among the comparison schools. Performance trends show that student scores in English improve substantially between third and fifth grade, while math gains are more modest. The school's context suggests it is focused on serving a community with greater economic needs, which is associated with the significant investment it receives and the academic hurdles it faces relative to its neighbors.
