Edmonds School District

Edmonds School District includes 36 schools serving students from early childhood through grade 12 across the Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, and Brier area, with traditional elementary, middle, and high schools as well as K–8, alternative, online, career-access, and cooperative programs. Overall, the district ranks 66th of 238 Washington districts, placing it in the 72nd percentile with a four-star rating. Districtwide proficiency is higher than the state average in English language arts, math, and science, although school results vary considerably.

For elementary families, Maplewood Parent Coop is one of the strongest current performers, with 79.69% proficiency in ELA and 74.30% in math. Challenge Elementary has an exceptional ranking history and reported math proficiency above 96%, though some current results are suppressed and its specialized model makes direct comparisons difficult. Among more traditional schools, Sherwood Elementary leads in science, while Seaview Elementary, Hilltop Elementary, and Brier Elementary also perform well. Results are much lower at schools including Cedar Valley Elementary and College Place Elementary, while Chase Lake Elementary is notable for substantial recent improvement.

At the middle-school level, Brier Terrace Middle School is the clear leader, followed by Meadowdale Middle School; College Place Middle School has improved significantly. Among comprehensive high schools, Mountlake Terrace High School and Meadowdale High School combine the strongest rankings and graduation rates, while Edmonds Woodway High School stands out in science and Lynnwood High School has improved in ranking. High-school math is the most consistent academic challenge. Alternative programs such as Edmonds Heights K-12, Edmonds eLearning Academy, and Edmonds Career Access Program serve different purposes and should be evaluated separately from traditional schools.
