Enrollment by grade, 2024-25 school year, as reported to the WA State Board of Education.
NCES Private School Universe Survey, 2021-22 (the most recent federal collection). Private-school demographics are reported biennially and lag public-school data.
Catholic parish school in Bellevue (on the Clyde Hill border) · PK–8 · 401 K-8 students plus 31 in pre-K (WA SBE, 2024-25) · coed ministry of Sacred Heart Parish, Archdiocese of Seattle
Sacred Heart's price tag is written twice, once in dollars and once in participation. The dollars run $18,375 for a non-parishioner child in 2026-27, or $14,025 (a $4,350 discount) for families verified as active parishioners. The participation is a mandatory annual service job with a $2,000 fee for opting out, plus tuition assistance that the school explicitly conditions on a family's "record of meeting obligations". What that buys, at roughly a third of the sticker price of Seattle's secular independents, is a two-section-per-grade school with negligible attrition and faculty tenure the school reports at over 12 years. Its 8th-grade placement operation routinely feeds Eastside Catholic and O'Dea and has recently landed graduates at Lakeside and Choate Rosemary Hall. The fit test is blunt. Dual-career households with no slack for volunteer shifts, secular families uneasy with religious instruction woven through every subject, and children needing more than short-term learning support should weigh this school skeptically.
