Stevens Elementary School

Stevens Elementary School is a regular public school in Seattle, Washington, serving 151 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. With a student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1, students get consistent, close attention from their teachers — a meaningful advantage at the elementary level. Stevens earns a composite score of 9.7 out of 10, rated Exceptional across both academic achievement and growth.

That performance places it first among 89 public schools in Seattle and second among 1,202 elementary schools statewide — making it one of the strongest elementary programs in Washington by any measure. The school's growth score matches its academic score at 9.7, which matters: high academic scores sometimes reflect incoming advantages, but strong growth signals that the school itself is driving student progress. Stevens outperforms 100 percent of Washington public schools, ranking second out of 2,225 statewide.

For families comparing elementary options in Seattle, Stevens sits at the top of nearly every relevant list. Its small enrollment keeps the school community tight, and the low student-teacher ratio means that exceptional performance plays out at the individual student level, not just in aggregate data.

With an enrollment of 151 students, Stevens Elementary School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
