Summary:

The city of Edmonds, Washington, is served by 13 public schools across the Edmonds School District and Mukilteo School District, educating roughly 6,750 students from Pre-K through 12th grade without any standalone middle schools.

Overall, schools in this area perform well, with several elementary schools standing out for high achievement. Maplewood Parent Coop is the top-ranked school, with exceptional test scores, followed by other strong performers like Edmonds Elementary, Seaview Elementary, and Sherwood Elementary. The main high school, Edmonds Woodway High School, shows solid performance, particularly in English.

However, the landscape includes schools with significant challenges, such as Scriber Lake High School, which has much lower graduation rates despite high per-student funding. An interesting model is the Edmonds Heights K-12 alternative school, which operates very efficiently and excels in science. A key takeaway is that higher per-student spending does not automatically guarantee better academic results, and science proficiency is a relative strength across many of these schools.
