School Overview

Mercer Island is a tight-knit, affluent community sitting right in the middle of Lake Washington, connected to Seattle and Bellevue by bridge but feeling like its own little world — tree-lined streets, waterfront trails, and a strong sense of neighborhood pride. Northwood Elementary reflects that community character well, with consistently strong academics across English, math, and science that place it among Washington's top schools. Families drawn to a smaller-island feel with easy access to two major cities, and who want a rigorous academic environment without sacrificing that close community atmosphere, tend to thrive here.
