Fifth-grade math was the clearest area for improvement, with 59.46% proficiency compared with 70.58% districtwide; fifth-grade English language arts and science also trailed district rates, though both remained well above statewide results. The school’s overall results improved in English language arts and science from the prior year, with science rising more than six percentage points, while math was essentially stable. With no other elementary schools in 98004, families cannot compare schools within the ZIP code, so Clyde Hill’s strong statewide ranking, district context, grade-level variation, and improving long-term position are the most important factors to consider.
