Edmonds, Washington, has 13 schools serving students from kindergarten through grade 12, including 10 elementary or K–8 schools, two high schools, and one alternative K–12 school, primarily in the Edmonds School District, with three schools in the Mukilteo School District. The area offers substantial variety in school size, academic performance, instructional models, and student needs. There are no standalone middle schools, although Madrona K-8 School and Maplewood Parent Coop serve students through eighth grade.

Among elementary schools, Maplewood Parent Coop is the strongest overall academic performer, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide with 79.69% ELA and 74.30% math proficiency. Seaview Elementary is also consistently strong, particularly in science, while Sherwood Elementary has the highest reported science proficiency and a strong upward ranking trend. Madrona K-8 School stands out for steady performance across grades and subjects. Picnic Point Elementary is the strongest Mukilteo-affiliated school in the group. Math is the most common academic weakness, while science is generally a relative strength.

At the high school level, Edmonds Woodway High School is the strongest comprehensive option, with a 77th-percentile statewide ranking, 85.3% graduation rate, and stronger ELA performance than its math results. Scriber Lake High School serves a much smaller, alternative-school population, so its lower graduation and test results should not be viewed as a direct comparison. Edmonds Heights K-12 reports strong proficiency in all three tested subjects but a lower graduation rate. Chase Lake Elementary has made the largest recent improvement, whereas Lynndale Elementary experienced a notable ELA decline. Suppressed state results represent unavailable data, not zero achievement.
