Summary

The school is on a remarkable upward trajectory, having climbed over 150 positions in the state rankings in just two years to become a 5-star school. It excels academically, with over 80% of students proficient in English, Math, and Science, and its 88.9% science proficiency rate is notably higher than many other top schools in the area, including Frantz Coe Elementary and West Woodland Elementary School. This success is achieved with efficient per-student spending and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1.

This highlights significant differences in educational outcomes even within the same Seattle School District No. 1.

Open Quote Decent school, decent teachers - several are nationally certified. Project-base, tech-focused, little to NO homework.

Our kids went here from 2nd to 5th grade. We liked all teachers except the 4th grade teacher. Though, there isn't a lot of bullying in the school, when it does happen, the school doesn't deal with it very well. I had to report my son's bullying to the district. And, if you try to speak to teachers about protecting your kids, they close ranks on you and bend over backward to protect the bully. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen. But, overall, it's a good school. There's a lot of parent involvement. They have art and music classes. They have a partner school in Africa. They could use more sports and more after-school offerings for the 4th and 5th graders. Close Quote
