Summary:
The city of North Bend, Washington, is served by three high-performing public schools—two elementary and one middle school—all part of the highly-ranked Snoqualmie Valley School District, which places in the top 2% of districts statewide.
Families in North Bend have access to excellent educational options, with all three schools consistently outperforming Washington state averages in English, math, and science. Edwin R Opstad Elementary is the top academic performer, holding a 5-star rating and ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide. North Bend Elementary School offers the smallest class sizes and highest per-student spending. Twin Falls Middle School is the most improved, rising to a 5-star rating and the 92nd percentile.
While the schools are strong overall, a notable area for attention is a significant drop in 5th-grade math scores at both elementary schools compared to earlier grades. Furthermore, the middle school, despite its high ranking, shows some gaps compared to the district's average, suggesting a potential challenge in the transition from elementary school. The variance in spending between the elementary schools, with North Bend Elementary spending significantly more per student than Opstad, is an interesting point for the district to examine regarding resource allocation.
