Summary

Nob Hill Elementary School is a relatively small K–5 school in Yakima, Washington, serving 339 students in an area with substantial economic need. The school is part of the Yakima School District, which ranks 214th of 238 Washington districts. Nob Hill’s current statewide ranking is the 27th percentile, with a 1-star rating. Although this places the school below the state average, it is one of the stronger traditional elementary schools in its immediate Yakima comparison group. Nob Hill also reports a favorable 14.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $21,163 in 2023–24.

Nob Hill’s clearest academic strengths are math and science. In 2025–26, 34.47% of students met standards in math and 51.90% in science, compared with 22.09% and 33.17%, respectively, across the district. Its science result was also slightly above the statewide average of 50.95%. Among nearby Yakima schools, Nob Hill generally ranks second in math and science, behind Gilbert Elementary School. Nob Hill also outperformed Robertson Elementary, Whitney Elementary, and most other nearby district schools overall. However, Summitview Elementary, which has a similar free- or reduced-price lunch rate, performed considerably better in ELA and math, suggesting room for improvement beyond economic circumstances alone.

Parents should pay particular attention to recent trends and grade-level differences. ELA fell from 44.62% in 2024–25 to 34.78% in 2025–26, while math declined more gradually and science remained relatively stable. Third grade is Nob Hill’s strongest level, with 40.30% meeting ELA standards and 43.94% meeting math standards; fifth grade is weakest, at 27.50% in both subjects. The school’s female-student and low-income-student subgroup rankings have also declined, making literacy, fifth-grade readiness, and targeted student support important areas to ask about. Overall, Nob Hill offers stronger local performance than most nearby Yakima School District options, especially in science, but remains below Washington norms in ELA and math.
