Elementary-school performance varies considerably. Bryant Elementary School is the clearest all-around standout, ranking 21st statewide and posting the highest reported elementary ELA, math, and science results. View Ridge Elementary School, Wedgwood Elementary School, and Loyal Heights Elementary School also rank among the state’s stronger schools. Thornton Creek Elementary School is another strong option. At the lower end of current reported results, Olympic View Elementary School, Sacajawea Elementary School, and especially Sand Point Elementary show weaker proficiency, particularly in math. Cascadia Elementary and Stephen Decatur Elementary School have suppressed current results, so their performance cannot be fairly judged from this data alone.

Among secondary schools, Eckstein Middle School ranks 18th statewide and is particularly strong in science, with consistent results across grades. Roosevelt High School ranks 21st statewide, has an excellent 94.1% graduation rate, and is especially strong in ELA; math is comparatively weaker but still above state performance. Across the area, science is often the strongest subject and math the most common relative weakness. Families should also consider school programs, student support, transportation, and current enrollment, since rankings and test scores can change from year to year.
