The 98125 zip code in Seattle contains eight public schools serving grades K-12 within the highly-rated Seattle School District No. 1, offering a mix of five elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools to approximately 3,900 students.

Among these schools, Cedar Park Elementary School stands out as the top performer with exceptional test scores, while Nathan Hale High School is a strong, large comprehensive high school showing impressive improvement. Hazel Wolf K-8 also performs consistently well with the lowest class sizes.

The data suggests parents have several strong options, with particular excellence at the elementary level with Cedar Park and at the high school level with Nathan Hale.
