Summary

Fidalgo Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 339 students within the top-performing Anacortes School District on Washington's scenic north coast.

Academically, Fidalgo is a consistent standout, earning 4-star ratings year after year and outperforming state averages in all core subjects. Its most remarkable strength is in science, where 78% of students are proficient—a rate far exceeding other local schools like Island View Elementary and Mount Erie Elementary. The school also shows impressive growth, with student proficiency in English and Math increasing steadily from third to fifth grade. Furthermore, Fidalgo achieves these strong results efficiently, spending less per student than several neighboring schools such as Olympic View Elementary and Oak Harbor Elementary.

Within its high-achieving district, Fidalgo is notable for its success with students from lower-income families, ranking in the 80th percentile for this group. This contrasts with patterns seen in some nearby districts. However, parents should be aware that the school's performance for students in special education has shown recent volatility and is an area to watch. Overall, Fidalgo represents one of the strongest elementary options in the region, particularly for families valuing exceptional science education and consistent academic excellence.
