Continuous School Improvement Plan (C-SIP)
Arbor Heights Elementary C-SIP
The Continuous School Improvement Plan (C-SIP) is an action plan for each school that identifies the areas a school plans to focus on in the current and coming school year, the performance goals they want students to achieve, and how the school plans to collaboratively meet these goals.
The plans are updated regularly to reflect the strategies being used at each school. This document also serves as the school-wide improvement plan for our Title I schools.
School and Building Reports
School Report
Arbor Heights School Report
School Reports show a brief snapshot of a school’s academic growth, student climate, accountability, family and staff engagement, and overall school performance. School reports are produced by the State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for each school and district in the state and updated periodically throughout the year as data becomes available.
On state assessments, students who are expected to participate but do not, such as absences or opting out, are counted as non-proficient. This may affect the school’s overall proficiency rating.
Questions about school reports? Contact the Research and Evaluation Department research@seattleschools.org.

Arbor Heights Levy Projects
BEX IV
The previously existing Arbor Heights Elementary School buildings, built in 1949 with additions in 1950, 1953 and 1958, were demolished. The replacement school, designed to support best learning practices for elementary education, opened in 2016.
Levy Approved : 2013
Budget : $42.6 million
Project Description
Arbor Heights School is a 90,000-square-foot, elementary school designed to accommodate up to 660 students — nearly doubling the capacity of the 1940’s era facility it replaced. The school is designed to foster connections between the students, the community and the natural environment and provides a pioneering Environmental Science Technology Engineering Math (E-STEM) program. A rigorous design process included a 16-person School Design Advisory Team (SDAT), with representatives from the school, parents and neighbors.
The site incorporates a wide variety of features that encourage physical activity, casual and structured play, social interaction, and outdoor learning. These include: a grass playfield, a paved running track, a covered play area, raised bed planters, a sundial, an in-ground slide, educational signage, nature engagement areas, and outdoor classrooms.
Sustainable Features
Sustainability is embedded in the design and used as building-based learning examples. Energy monitoring displays and the sustainable features of the building will be used to create awareness and learning opportunities for students.
- Simple, energy-efficient building forms;
- Windows oriented for optimum solar exposure and views;
- Sun shades to control daylight;
- South-facing roofs for future solar panels;
- Natural cooling and user-controlled ceiling fans; and
- LED lighting with automatic sensor controls.
- Stormwater management includes rain gardens, rainwater catchers, exposed rainwater discharge, and above-ground cisterns.
