Snoqualmie Elementary

Snoqualmie Elementary serves 496 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Snoqualmie, Washington. The school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10, rated Exceptional, with a 9.8 academic score and a 9.4 growth score. Those numbers put it among the strongest elementary programs in the state.

The rankings confirm that standing. Snoqualmie Elementary places #35 out of 1,202 elementary schools in Washington — a top-3% finish statewide. Across all 2,225 public schools in Washington, it outperforms 98% of the field.

Within Snoqualmie, it holds the top spot among the city's five public schools. Few elementary programs anywhere in the state match that combination of raw academic output and consistent student progress. The student-teacher ratio of 15 to 1 keeps class sizes manageable for a school of 496 — meaningful at the elementary level, where foundational reading and math skills require individualized attention.

The 9.4 growth score is particularly telling: it measures how far students advance relative to their starting point, not just where they land. A high growth score means the school adds value across the ability spectrum, rather than simply reflecting an advantaged incoming cohort. For parents weighing elementary options in the Snoqualmie Valley, this school consistently delivers at a level that stands up to statewide comparison.

Located in a rural area, Snoqualmie Elementary may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
