Academic scores are ok but not exceptional. We've experienced discipline problems both in the classroom and schoolyard. We are considering moving to another school in Bellevue.

Eastgate Elementary is a great little school that has a cohesive teaching staff that works together for the benefit of children. We are very pleased with the quality of education provided to our children and their level of preparation as they move on to middle school.

Teachers, principal, and PTA are very helpful and try to do everything to improve the school quality. Academics - just normal nothing exceptional.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
