School Overview
About SES
Snoqualmie Elementary School (SES) serves students in preschool through fifth grade. A new gymnasium was built in 2018, and the school’s courtyard garden provides outdoor learning. As part of our district’s technology initiative, classrooms are equipped with engaging instructional technology such as interactive white boards, web-based tools, and sets of mobile devices; and coding instruction has been expanded to grades K-5 at all SVSD elementary schools. The STREAM program (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering and Math) is a magnet program, based at SES, for students throughout the district in grades 2-5 who qualify for gifted services.

Our District
The Snoqualmie Valley School District (SVSD) is located 30 miles east of Seattle in the beautiful Cascade Mountain foothills of Washington State. The district spans more than 400 square miles and serves families in Fall City, North Bend, Snoqualmie, and surrounding unincorporated areas in King County. We offer quality public education to approximately 7,200 students in 11 schools — six elementary schools (grades P-5), three middle schools (6-8), one comprehensive high school (9-12), and a Big Picture high school (9-12).
Alternative learning options offered by our district include Mount Si High School’s Online Courses (9-12), our Parent Partnership Program for families who choose to school their students (K-10) at home, a Transition Learning Center for special education services for ages 18-21, and a 100% Online Learning Program (K-12).
Since 2019, our students have enjoyed the newly-constructed and expanded Mount Si High School campus, which features a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center. Our district’s One-to-One Computing Initiative equips every student in grades 6-12 with a laptop computer for use at school and home. Thanks to our supportive community that values education, Snoqualmie Valley schools rank among the best in Washington State with a 98% four-year graduation rate.
