School-ranking site Niche says it knows where the Seattle area's best elementary schools are -- and they're all outside Seattle.

Predictably, they're located in the more affluent neighborhoods in the region. In fact, three Eastside cities are home to 22 of the 25 schools on this list.

Niche accounted for academic performance, survey feedback on school district quality, evaluations of teachers and student diversity to make up this ranking. Academic achievement makes up half of each school's total score.

Is your kids' school or your alma mater on this list?
