School Overview

Benjamin Franklin Elementary sits in one of Kirkland's most sought-after neighborhoods, just a short drive from the shores of Lake Washington, and it consistently ranks among the very best elementary schools in the state. Families drawn to strong academics across the board — English, math, and science alike — will find a lot to love here, and the Lake Washington School District as a whole has a well-earned reputation for supporting high achievement. Kirkland itself has a genuine small-town feel despite being minutes from Bellevue and Seattle, with a walkable downtown, waterfront parks, and a tight-knit community that makes it a genuinely appealing place to raise a family.
