While the district as a whole is ranked 159 out of 247 in Washington and has a 2-star rating, a few standout schools in the area shine, including Felida Elementary School, Alki Middle School, and Skyview High School.

Felida Elementary and Alki Middle have consistently earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, with strong test scores and relatively low free/reduced lunch rates.
