Rosa Parks Elementary

Tucked into the eastern Redmond neighborhoods near the Sammamish Plateau, Rosa Parks Elementary sits in one of the most academically competitive pockets of the entire Pacific Northwest, where tech-industry families and longtime Eastside residents have built a community that takes school involvement seriously. Scores here are consistently exceptional across English, math, and science, making it a natural draw for families who want rigorous academics in a suburban setting that still feels approachable and neighborhood-y. Redmond itself strikes a nice balance — you get easy access to trails, parks, and the amenities of a growing city, all while landing in a school that ranks among the very best in Washington State.
