Summary

Fairmount Park Elementary School is a consistently high-performing public school serving about 357 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the West Seattle neighborhood of the Seattle School District No. 1.

This school stands out for its exceptional strength in mathematics, where its proficiency rates are the highest among nearby elementary schools, and for its highly effective support for special education students, ranking in the state's 97th percentile for that service. While it is part of a West Seattle cluster of strong schools like Genesee Hill Elementary and Alki Elementary School, Fairmount Park achieves these top-tier results while serving a more socioeconomically diverse student body, performing well above schools with similar or higher levels of economic need.

Parents should note the school's remarkable eight-year history of stability in the top 15% of Washington schools. A key area to watch is the support for low-income students, where performance has varied year-to-year, unlike the school's steady overall results. Like many schools in the area, including West Seattle Elementary School and Pathfinder K-8 School, Fairmount Park sees a notable drop in math scores in 5th grade, suggesting a broader academic transition challenge.
