Summary:

The Edmonds School District is a large, high-performing district north of Seattle with 37 schools serving grades K-12, where overall academic proficiency exceeds state averages.

Performance varies significantly across schools, with Challenge Elementary and Maplewood Parent Coop standing out as top-tier elementary options, while Cedar Valley Elementary and College Place Elementary rank much lower. At the secondary level, Edmonds Woodway High School is the district's highest-ranked comprehensive high school, and Brier Terrace Middle School leads among middle schools, notably outperforming Alderwood Middle School in math by a wide margin.

Key takeaways include strong high school graduation rates, especially at Meadowdale High School and Mountlake Terrace High School, and a clear pattern where schools with lower rates of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch consistently achieve higher test scores. The district also offers diverse alternative programs, with Edmonds Heights K-12 showing solid academic results, while Scriber Lake High School faces greater challenges.
