About Broadview-thomson K-8 School

Broadview-Thomson K-8 School serves 564 students across pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in Seattle, Washington. With a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — it ranks #47 out of 2,225 public schools statewide, outperforming 98% of Washington schools. That standing reflects consistent, high-level performance across both academic achievement and student growth, not a single strong metric carrying the rest.

The school's growth score of 9.4 is the most telling number on its scorecard.
