How is Stevenson Elementary in Bellevue?
I'm only assuming since it's Bellevue it's got to be good??
In my husband swaying my decisions to move, he's now shown me probably our perfect house (okay I'd like more sqft but other then that....)
And it's by Stevenson, so I'd like to know how the school is - right now we are at Wedgwood Elementary - and I find it just So So

Just thought of another resource, which I actually stole from contributor Prple, the WA schools report card:

At least at the elementary school in Bellevue only a fraction of the students are ESL. If CityGirl goes back to California the percentage of ESL students will probably be closer to 90%
Moving to Bellevue is probably the best decision.

HMMM Depends on which school we choose - I don't think the area in Folsom (which ranks a 10 on Greatschools.net) will have many ESL students - the area statistics of City Data say it's 72% caucasian
PS - not that ESL students are bad...sometimes it's nice to have some diversity you know? And since I grew up in So Cal, most everyone was ESL

Reading through the parent reviews on this elementary in Bellevue, all seem to say that it's largely ESL kids... it appears as if the "fraction" is actually a large portion.
