Summary

Presidents Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 578 students in the Arlington School District, and it stands out as a school on a strong upward trajectory, recently improving its statewide ranking to the 61st percentile.

Academically, the school consistently outperforms both district and state averages, with particular strengths in Science and Math. This performance is notable when compared to other local schools like Pioneer Elementary or Stillaguamish Valley Learning Center, which trail these averages. Presidents Elementary also achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student than some lower-performing neighboring schools in other districts, such as Marshall Elementary in the Marysville School District.

The school shows remarkable effectiveness with specific student groups and has demonstrated consistent improvement since the pandemic. However, performance varies by grade, with exceptional 4th-grade Math scores contrasting with a significant drop in 5th-grade Math, indicating an area for focus. Within the Arlington School District, it is a high performer, ranking second among elementary schools just behind Kent Prairie Elementary.
