Summary:
ZIP code 98052, serving the Redmond area, includes 13 schools—9 elementary, 3 middle, and 1 high school—with most belonging to the highly ranked Lake Washington School District and one, Sunrise Elementary, in the Northshore School District. Overall, this is a strong school area, with many schools ranking in the top 5% to 10% statewide, although performance varies noticeably from one campus to another.
The strongest elementary options based on current achievement are Horace Mann Elementary, John J. Audubon Elementary, Norman Rockwell Elementary, and Clara Barton Elementary School. Horace Mann ranks 22nd statewide and posts the highest reported ELA and science results among the listed elementary schools. Audubon, Rockwell, and Clara Barton offer consistently strong results across ELA, math, and science, while Rockwell shows the biggest long-term ranking improvement. Sunrise Elementary is also exceptional, particularly in math, with 91.72% proficiency. By comparison, Redmond Elementary has the lowest reported elementary results, and Albert Einstein Elementary has experienced a substantial ranking decline and notable math weakness.
For middle school, Stella Schola reports the highest proficiency, though its small enrollment makes comparisons less certain. Among larger schools, Rose Hill Middle School is the standout, ranking 11th statewide after a strong improvement trend. Redmond Middle School still ranks highly but trails district averages in all three tested subjects. Redmond High School combines a top-13 statewide ranking with a 94.3% graduation rate and strong ELA performance, although math results and the dropout rate relative to the district merit attention. Results for Explorer Community School and other suppressed categories are unknown, not zero.
