Summary:
ZIP code 98004 has two public schools serving the Bellevue area: Clyde Hill Elementary for PK–5 and Bellevue High School for grades 9–12. Both are part of the highly rated Bellevue School District, which ranks 25th among Washington’s 238 districts. No middle school or alternative school is listed in the ZIP code, so the local K–12 pathway is incomplete in the available data.
Both schools perform well above Washington averages, although Bellevue High School has the stronger overall profile. It ranks in the 93rd percentile statewide, has a five-star rating, an 89% graduation rate, and an 86.06% ELA proficiency rate. Its math proficiency is 70.76%, while science is lower at 61.65%. Science is the main area to watch because it declined by about 10 percentage points from the prior year and trails the district average. The school is also larger, with 1,683 students and a 21.5 student–teacher ratio.
Clyde Hill Elementary ranks in the 88th percentile and has improved steadily in statewide rankings. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates are 72.49% in ELA, 69.09% in math, and 71.56% in science, all substantially higher than state results and close to district averages. It has 594 students, a lower 18.8 student–teacher ratio, and higher reported per-student spending than the high school. The most notable concern is fifth-grade math, where proficiency is 59.46%, well below the school’s third- and fourth-grade results and the district’s fifth-grade average. Overall, the ZIP code offers two strong schools with different strengths: exceptional high-school ELA performance and balanced elementary results, especially in science.
