Hazelwood Elementary School

Hazelwood Elementary earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — a level MySchoolScout rates Exceptional — and ranks 29th among 2,225 public schools in Washington. That puts Hazelwood above 99% of Washington public schools, a standing that holds whether measured against the full field or narrowed to Washington's 1,202 elementary schools, where the school ranks 28th. Reaching the top 30 out of more than two thousand schools is a mark few elementaries in the state achieve.

Academic performance scores 9.5 out of 10. The growth score of 9.8 is even stronger — growth captures how much students advance relative to expectations, so a near-perfect score signals that students here consistently gain more ground than demographics and baseline scores would predict. That is often the more meaningful number for parents trying to evaluate instructional quality.

The school serves 462 students in kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.1 to 1. In Newcastle, three public schools serve the area; Hazelwood ranks second among them. For families comparing nearby options, that local context helps anchor the statewide rankings in something immediately practical. --- **Word count:** 186 | **Comparative facts used:** #29 of 2,225 · outperforms 99% · #28 of 1,202 elementaries · #2 of 3 in Newcastle
