Continuous School Improvement Plan and School Profile

Loyal Heights Elementary CSIP 

Loyal Heights and a beautiful rainbow!

In Seattle Public Schools, we understand that a shared vision of practice is essential to fostering the learning communities that each of our students and adults needs to thrive. This shared vision enables educators to work in concert to build their practice with a focus on student learning and principles of targeted universalism—a strategic framework where targeted and differentiated efforts are required to meet the needs of specific student populations, so every student meets the universal goal. 

Each school annually publishes a Continuous School Improvement Plan (or CSIP) to outline the goals for our school, our students, and our parents and families.  The CSIP provides a clear summary of the steps we will take collaboratively to improve our educational practices in order to support the academic and social-emotional needs of our students.

CSIP and School Report

Discipline Dashboard

As part of Seattle Excellence, Seattle Public Schools’ Strategic Plan, the district is committed to interrupting disproportionate practices in discipline. To support this work and to increase transparency and accountability, the district has created and published public facing discipline dashboards for each school which became available on November 1, 2021.

Discipline dashboard data reflects the current school year and will be updated quarterly throughout the school year. For questions or concerns, please reach out to the school leader for a specific school.

Loyal Heights Levy Projects

Building Excellence (BEX) at Loyal Heights

BEX IV

The recently land marked Loyal Heights Elementary building is 38,000 square feet and was built in 1932. It will be modernized and a 54,000-square-foot addition will be built to increase capacity to 660 seats.

Levy Approved: 2013

Budget: $37.3 million

Project Description

The project will provide much-needed classrooms surrounded by open-shared learning areas to provide flexibility in teaching and learning. The building will also provide spaces for special education programs, music, art/science and childcare.

The new commons multi-purpose space will be located adjacent to the new gymnasium with a partition wall, which creates an enlarged space for school performances and other events on the new stage when opened. The library will be relocated into the historic lunchroom taking advantage of the main floor location to improve accessibility for students and the community.

The approximate one-acre playground will continue to be located on the south portion of the site but with an enlarged covered play area.

Sustainability Features

An open courtyard in the heart of the building will provide daylight and natural ventilation to surround spaces improving the learning environment.

Energy efficiency will continue with a geothermal system, displacement ventilation, LED lights with lighting controls and other passive systems to achieve a low energy use index (EUI) goal.

Schedule Overview

  • Construction begins: Fall 2016
  • Construction complete: Spring 2018
  • Scheduled school opening: Fall 2018
