Jing Mei Elementary School: What The Data Says

Jing Mei Elementary School is an elementary school in Bellevue School District. The local dataset puts it at grade span PK, K-5 with enrollment of 577. The headline academic number: 84.8% combined ELA/math meeting standard across the available three-year data, with 85.6% in the latest year.

The useful question is not just whether the scores are high. It is whether the school combines academics, access, peer depth, and day-to-day fit in a way that works for a specific child.

The Short Version

  • Local structured data: 84.8% combined ELA/math over available three-year data; 81.1% ELA and 88.6% math.
  • Access is the first filter: Choice school / lottery. Language/choice-program application and lottery/waitlist if oversubscribed.
  • Program status is a live issue: Students qualifying for Highly Capable 'Centered Services' must transfer to a designated host site like Cherry Crest or Medina, as Jing Mei does not host a Centered cohort (BSD Advanced Learning Placement).
  • There is public evidence of advanced peer depth: Jing Mei received the 2023-2024 Washington School Recognition award for Growth in Special Education, and Achievement in ELA, Math, and Attendance (SBE Honored Schools 2023-24).
  • The surrounding block group is Moderate for kid density, about 2.8 estimated kids per typical block.
