Summary:
Zip code 98052 has nine elementary schools serving approximately 3,697 students, with most offering kindergarten through fifth grade; Explorer Community School serves grades 1–5, and Sunrise Elementary serves prekindergarten through fifth grade. Eight schools belong to the highly rated Lake Washington School District, while Sunrise belongs to the also highly rated Northshore School District.
Overall, this is a very strong group of schools compared with Washington state averages. Horace Mann Elementary has the highest current ranking and leads the area in reported English language arts and science proficiency. Sunrise Elementary has the strongest recent ranking history and the highest reported math result, although some of its current data are suppressed. Norman Rockwell Elementary has shown the largest ranking improvement in recent years, rising to 41st statewide. John J. Audubon Elementary is consistently highly ranked, while Benjamin Rush Elementary is especially strong in math. Clara Barton Elementary School also shows balanced performance across subjects.
Redmond Elementary has the lowest reported proficiency in the local comparison, though it still exceeds statewide results in every tested subject. Albert Einstein Elementary also remains above state averages but trails district averages and has particularly weak fourth- and fifth-grade math results. Explorer Community School is much smaller than the other schools, with 60 students, and its current test results are unavailable, so direct comparisons should be made cautiously. Reported proficiency averages exclude suppressed data, which should be treated as unknown rather than evidence of low performance.
