Waterfront lifestyle - Miles of Lake Washington shoreline, waterfront parks, marina access, and one of the most walkable downtowns on the Eastside
Top-rated schools - Served by the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) - one of the best school districts in Washington State
Innovation Triangle - Centrally located between Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon Eastside - commutes to all major Eastside tech employers are under 30 minutes
Safety and community - Consistently ranked one of the safest and most livable cities in Washington State
Arts and culture - Monthly gallery walks, public art installations, Kirkland Oktoberfest, outdoor movie nights, and a thriving local dining scene

Kirkland Schools - A Top Reason Families Choose to Live Here

Kirkland is served by the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) - one of the most highly regarded school districts in Washington State and consistently ranked among the best nationally. The same outstanding district that serves Kirkland.

What makes Kirkland schools stand out:

Academic excellence - LWSD students consistently outperform state and national averages in math, science, and reading
Lake Washington High School - One of the top-ranked high schools in Washington State, serving the Kirkland area
Juanita High School - Highly rated and popular with families in the northern Kirkland neighborhoods
Strong elementary options - Juanita, Houghton, and Finn Hill neighborhoods are served by highly rated elementary schools
64% college educated - Kirkland has one of the highest rates of college-educated residents in Washington - reflecting the academic culture of the community

School boundaries matter enormously in Kirkland. Buying one block in a different direction can mean a completely different school assignment. At The Rams Group, we help relocating families understand school boundaries before they fall in love with a home - not after. It's one of the most valuable things we do.
