Summary

Allen Creek Elementary is a public PK-5 school serving about 437 students in the Marysville School District, where academic performance across the district generally lags behind the Washington state average.

Academically, Allen Creek's test scores are typical for the district, performing better than some neighbors like Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary but below others like Pinewood Elementary. A notable concern is that student scores, especially in math, tend to drop sharply between 3rd and 5th grade. The school shows significant strengths in supporting English Language Learners but has struggled recently in serving students in special education programs.

When compared to high-performing elementary schools in the nearby Lake Stevens School District, such as Stevens Creek Elementary, there is a substantial gap in proficiency rates. Interestingly, Allen Creek spends more per student than these higher-achieving schools, suggesting that how resources are used is more critical than the amount spent. Its closest geographic neighbor, Grove Elementary, has similar demographics and spending but achieves somewhat higher scores, indicating that school-level practices can make a difference.

A wonderful elementary school in Marysville! My two children are very happy to be attending Allen Creek. There is a new principal and the school is very organized and clean, you can immediately see it's managed well. The office staff is helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The teachers are wonderful, probably the best teachers in the area. Our family has had only the finest experience here. Close Quote

The Principal does not believe in making students accountable for their behavior. He does not believe in having chronic bullies serve consequences for their behavior, nor having any misbehaving student serve any kind of consequence for misbehaviors except for the state mandated ones, like bringing weapons to school. I don't think the school is safe and the staff has low morale. The whole environment feel hostile. Close Quote
