John Stanford International School: What The Data Says

John Stanford International School is an elementary school in Seattle School District No. 1. The local dataset puts it at grade span K-5 with enrollment of 422. The headline academic number: 87.6% combined ELA/math meeting standard across the available three-year data, with 84.9% 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: 87.6% combined ELA/math over available three-year data; 87.0% ELA and 88.3% math.
  • Access is the first filter: Option school / choice assignment. SPS School Choice assignment with tiebreakers/waitlist where oversubscribed.
  • Program status is a live issue: Highly Capable students at JSIS receive differentiated Tier 2 MTSS interventions in the general education classroom rather than attending a self-contained cohort (JSIS CSIP Narrative Details).
  • The surrounding block group is Moderate for kid density, about 3.7 estimated kids per typical block.
