Summary

Tehaleh Heights Elementary School is a top-performing public elementary school (PK-5) serving 627 students in the highly-rated Sumner-Bonney Lake School District in Bonney Lake, WA.

The school consistently ranks among the very best in the state, placing in the 96th percentile in the 2024-2025 school year, and its students demonstrate exceptional academic proficiency. For example, 86.6% are proficient in English and 84.9% in math, which is significantly higher than both the district and state averages. This performance stands out even when compared to other local schools; it outperforms the next best school in its own district, Victor Falls Elementary, by 15-25 percentage points in core subjects and far exceeds schools in neighboring districts like Puyallup School District and Orting School District.

Notably, Tehaleh Heights achieves these outstanding results while effectively supporting all student groups, with historically high state rankings for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and Hispanic students. The school's success is not simply due to higher spending, as it operates with resources comparable to nearby schools like Liberty Ridge Elementary. Its consistent improvement and strong performance across all grade levels suggest a highly effective school culture and instructional program within an already excellent district.
